Synopsis

bonVoyage pour monVoyage , which literally means ‘best wishes for my trip,’ is an experimental animated travelogue where I depict my travel experiences across various Indian cities that I explored in 2023. India, known for its rich cultural diversity, offers a wide range of experiences, which I have captured using different visual explorations. This is a very personal film that not only showcases what I saw, but also conveys my emotions, including happiness, loneliness, achievement, and a sense of belonging.
