During a brief stop in the heart of a forest, Selvan, a Tamil migrant bound for England, finds himself stranded in France with no landmarks or resources. Left to wander an unfamiliar city whose language he does not speak, he drifts between hope and panic, facing silence, suspicion, and rare glimmers of humanity. Oru Nimidam (One Minute) captures, over a compressed timeline, the intimate downward spiral of an ordinary man whose life suddenly hangs in the balance revealing the invisible violence of borders and the vulnerability of those who cross them.
