Abstract
The title of the film, How to Melt Away Completely, poses both as a rhetorical question and an intimation of the story. It gives a nod towards the paradox that complete absolution can only be sought after in vain, but one has to try nonetheless. The title also sets up the motif of water that will recur throughout our character’s journey in finding closure – from the ice cubes that provide physical relief to the water that overflows from the clogged toilet. The film opens in the dead of the night with Caba, our protagonist, tossing and turning in bed, trying in vain to fall asleep. His unrest leads up to a series of events which encapsulates the themes of the story.
