I’m Not An Actor – Main Actor Nahin Hoon

In Anwesenheit von Regisseur Aditya Kripalani und Produzentin Sweta Chhabria

Two solitary souls, a struggling actress in Mumbai, a depressed retired banker in Frankfurt, discover connection in the intimate space of an endless video call. „An Ode to Loneliness — An Ode to Friendship“ (Rabbi Shergill)

Mouni, a struggling actress in Mumbai, meets Adnan Baig, a depressed retired banker in Frankfurt, through an online film casting. Over the course of one day, Mouni coaches Adnan via video call through the basics of acting while simultaneously guiding him through the unconventional streets of Frankfurt—all while navigating Mumbai herself. Despite the thousands of kilometers between them, their connection becomes so profound that both characters open up and confront their deepest boundaries...
