Indo-Swiss director Kamal Musale has joined forces with Swiss production company Louise Productions for a new Black comedy set in India titled The Hermit.
Mumbai and London based boutique studio, Flick the Switch is also associated with the project.
Written and directed by Kumal Musale, The Hermit is a black comedy of human greed with a zest of eco-terrorism. The story follows a woman of Indian origin and her hostile English husband as they go to India to claim her inheritance, and are confronted with a dangerous and crazy white hermit who claims to have equal rights to live on their property.
The film is scheduled to be shot in 2014 in Hampi in Karnataka.
“I thought of writing a movie like The Hermit while questioning my own sense of identity. Being half Swiss and half Indian, I sometimes wonder what nationality and the sense of belonging mean.
