- Synopsis
- Once famous for its farming, the people of the Mahua region have forgotten the earthy scent of rain falling on their soil. Erratic and receding rainfall has led many farmers into debt traps set out as loans offered by banks. Unable to grow food grain anymore and to escape repayments, the only way out is sacrificing their own life i.e. suicide. A blind father of a farmer fears his depressed son may do the same.
  
  Ruthless in his ways to repossess loans, a bank agent arrives with a growing list of suicides attributed to him. People call him a ‘death god’. The father finds his son’s life threatened by a lack of water and the pressure of bank repayment. In the case of the agent, fierce seas, regular floods, and frequent cyclones threaten his family in the coastal village of Satabhaya (east of India). The blind father meets the agent with a request to defer his son’s debt. Angry rejection from the agent and mutual dislike soon develop into an odd partnership. Each wanting to save their own family, they end up helping one another. Human emotions take over the inhuman realities of climate change.
  
  Embroiled together, their fates tremble under the pressure of two extreme weather conditions.
  
  The dark wind is not just fiction. It’s an eye-opening portrayal of the suffering of people, and it is a wake-up call for a society still unprepared to face the consequences of their actions on climate change.
