My Name is Eeooow

Directed by Oinam Doren

2016 – 52'

Synopsis

Imagine a village where you sing every time you call someone’s name. In the village of Kongthong, everybody has a song tune as a name – the ‘Jingrwai Iawbei’. The name comes from a mother as an expression of her love for her new-born. But what happens to that perpetual symbol of mother’s love when the children come to the town for higher studies or to seek jobs, and are exposed to contemporary music?
