before independence, a carpet factory in the countryside near Calcutta. For Ravi and Masha, who are forced to work as child laborers, it is the beginning of a tragic love story. Realizing that money determines whether one is free or enslaved, the ambitious and resolute Ravi works his way up from common worker to best carpet knotter with just one goal - to leave the factory behind him. But when he learns that the factory manager wants to sell Masha to a white-slaver, he sacrifices all his savings to buy Masha`s freedom. As she leaves, Masha promises to wait for him in Calcutta`s biggest Shiva temple at every full moon.
Years later a young man leaves the factory heading for the temple. Masha, who has become a sought-after dancer in one of the city´s brothels, also visits the holy site hoping for Ravi to come. But fate seems to have turned against their love and they are kept apart. Much later, when they have both married others and seem to have forgotten about one another, they unexpectedly meet again. Despite all obstacles they face, they cannot help but follow their hearts, and their tragic love starts anew ...
Defiantly romantic, emphatically emotional, this epic love story evokes the days when grand passions ruled the movies and cast their spell on audiences.. The first fulllength feature film by young Oscar-winning writer and director Florian Gallenberger (Quiero Ser), Shadows of Time was shot by the distinguished cinematographer Juergen Juerges, who shot also Wenders` “Faraway, So Close”.
