As a film-maker, I look forward to a genuinely international co production between Wales and India with Sunitha Tati and Guru”

“The Arrangements of Love is an intricate and subtle exploration of love; quirky and oddball it tells of the characters all looking for something – and hidden under their stories is the search for love, in its many guises. Love, after all, is the raft we all cling to in this very lonely sea in which we exist. Without it, everything else is meaningless”  adds the novelist Timeri N Murari.
