Critically acclaimed character study from one of India's premier filmmakers, Adoor Gopalakrishnan. Set in modern-day Kerala during a time of social unrest, RAT-TRAP follows one boy's gradual decline as he grapples with feelings of alienation from a society he no longer recognises, and a family torn apart by feudalism. Isolated and paranoid, he retreats further and further into his own world, like the metaphorical rat.
