Abraham’s last and most complex film is told in the form of an open letter from a son, Purushan (Mathew), to his mother (Kunhulakshmi) while interweaving fact and fiction with fragments of memory. Purushan sets out for Delhi with his friend Paru (Venkitesh), who is researching a thesis on Durga, the mother goddess, a figure traditionally though ambiguously representing the cohesive forces of nature. Along the way they find a hanged man (Harinarayan) who seems hauntingly familiar, a suicide. Reconstructing the identity of the corpse takes Purushan, and a growing body of young men who all have a stake in the youth’s history, from the northern highlands of Kerala to Southern Cochin and ends with a re-evaluation of a generation’s radical past. Along the way, Abraham filmed an actual quarry workers’ strike, echoing Kerala’s troubled 70s, and manages to endow both the journey and the central character with broader historical resonances in a manner reminiscent of the director’s master, Ritwik Ghatak’s Jukti Takko Aar Gappo (1974): a style full of irony and with a free-wheelingly innovative approach to sound and to narrative structures. The first production of the Odessa group, it was made entirely through raising funds from public contributions, supported by the Kerala State Film Development Corporation. Abraham’s death, shortly after the film was made, elevated it to cult status while also merging together the fate of the director with that of the main protagonist, both strongly inflected with Christian themes of innocence and martyrdom.

The certificate is for an unscreened public exhibition, with details such as the film title "Aaja Aaja" (1964), the director's name "Guruji," the length of 35 minutes, and the reels number 1. The certificate is dated May 15, 1965, and is issued in New Delhi. The geographic location is likely India, as indicated by the government body and the language used.

The voice-over is an exhortation to partake in a manifestly political project around the medium of cinema, rather than, for example, in an aesthetic project of ‘alternative cinema for its own sake’. The address is significantly to the audience as a collective; the mellow voice-over (in the voice of Naseem – a member in the Odessa Collective), and the handwritten title cards on the screen, serve as reminders about the film’s positioning itself as counter-cinema.

The image shows a simple, monochromatic scene with a faint, square-like symbol at the top center. Below it, there is a handwritten-style text in a script that appears to be from a South Asian language.

At the bottom of the image, there is a block of text in English that reads, "Odessa movies present." The background is plain, and the overall tone is minimalistic. The script and the English text suggest that this could be related to a film or a presentation from a company named Odessa Movies.

The brooding young man – Purushan – who has to leave home is our anchoring figure. He leaves home partly because he gets the call of the outer world; and partly because home has become a vacuous space but for the caring literate mother (Iringal Narayani) with whom he seems to cherish an intimacy. He is not a revolutionary or an anarchist, nor is he the middle class young male protagonist anxious about securing his position within the structures of the family and society. This is the making of the political-existential figure, struggling to make political sense of things happening around him. The role is played by Joy Mathew, who was active in theatre circles in Kerala, and in Campus Theatre movement. Read his memoirs about those days, and about meeting John:

FTII strike assembly
Neruda’s poem: Death Alone. The news of the suicide draws the protagonist to withdrawing unto himself, and propels him to abandon his journey to Delhi to pursue research. Suicides and untimely deaths of young artists, writers, and political activists began haunting the intellectual imagination in the region from the 1970s, especially given the context of the political churnings after the Emergency imposed by the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi between 1975 and 1977, and the police crackdown on Naxalites in the State. This obsession often led to production of cults around many of them. Such narratives of cult figures always drew connections between death, existential crisis, and political nihilism. The cult around John Abraham himself is a classic instance.

Following Purushan in his journey, we are thrust into the middle of struggles and movements of resistance by people that animate the landscapes he traverses. The scene here is Government Medical College, Calicut, where the medical students are on strike against the moves to privatize medical education in Kerala. This space has a political history: Activists of Janakeeya Samskarika Vedi (People’s Cultural Forum) had organized a number of Janakeeya Vicharanas (people’s trials) of corrupt public officials all over Kerala. The most publicized of these trials happened outside the Government Medical College in Calicut where the Vedi members conducted the trial of a medical doctor, known for taking huge amounts of money as bribes from his patients. The doctor was forcefully brought out to the square outside the college, and the trial was conducted in front of the public, including the relatives of the patients admitted in the hospital attached to the college, with one of the activists acting as the judge. Even though the trial received popular support, the members of the Vedi were arrested by the police.

The subtitle should have read: “…the poorest of the poor will question the a-political intelligentsia of my country,” instead of “political intelligentsia”. The passage being read out aloud by two group members seem to be a critique of existentialist thought in literature and art that gained popularity in Kerala from the 1970s (as exemplified in the works of O V Vijayan, Anand, M Mukundan, Kakkanadan, etc, and in the films of Aravindan. Quoting from Ratheesh Radhakrishnan's thesis: “The existentialist stream of literature in Kerala was inspired by the Western existentialist philosophy of Jean Paul Sartre, the works of writers like Albert Camus and Franz Kafka, [as well as] the emergence of hippie culture in the West. Existentialism circulated in Kerala in such a way that it erased the difference between the Sartre and the Camus versions and tried to integrate the latter’s 'outsider' logic with the former. The hippie culture was also linked with this process, as existential angst was tied to the loss of a real self, articulated mostly in terms of an authentic local identity. This thought tried to represent the failure of the dreams of the modern nation, not necessarily by positing a challenge to it but by inhabiting its spaces with a ‘licentious’ lifestyle – tied to drug abuse and 'licentious' lifestyles. In these novels, the city now becomes a space which the modern youth has to negotiate by hook or by crook, as depicted in a number of protagonists of the novelist M Mukundan, especially Aravindan in Delhi (1969) and Ramesh Panikker in Haridwaril Manimuzhangumbol (When the bell tolls in Haridwar 1972), or by reworking what were seen as immoral activities or modern vices, into legitimate ones as seen in the novels of Mukundan, Vijayan, and Kakkanadan or in discussing the modern nation as the indigenous version of Kafka's castle in Anand's Marubhoomikal Undakunnathu (As Deserts are Formed 1989). (…)The radical politics of the time viewed existentialist writings as apolitical and at odds with class struggle.” (Radhakrishnan 2006: 176-7)
