Ghee
A quiet lunch turns upside down when a secret recipe sets off a chain of surprises.
Ghee is a dark meditation on control, power, and ambition. In a world of structured chaos, where order masks madness and hope is a relic, the film asks whether control is ever truly ours – or just an illusion designed to consume us. It explores how ambition reshapes identity, how power corrodes innocence, and how survival often demands surrender to forces greater than ourselves.
