| Synopsis: | The partition referred to in the title is that of India and Pakistan in 1947. The film focusses on the historical footnote that inmates of lunatic asylums, like prisoners, were meant to be exchanged: Muslim lunatics in India should be transferred to Pakistan and Hindu and Sikh lunatics should be sent to India. The story is set in a lunatic asylum which mirror the chaos, madness and confusion caused by the partition. No viewing copy available. | |
