Synopsis
After a spell of rain, snails appear from nowhere and multiply. For his deaf father — who insists their sound is the longing voice of his late wife — a son who studied acoustics sets out to find the cause. How Vaishnava hymns, Jagadish Chandra Bose, plants and snails are all bound together in the form of sound — that is Paanjajanyam.
