A Land Of Dreams Is Set In The Mid-1990s In Imphal. A Time When India Was Participating In The Exciting Time Of Delhi’S Economic Liberalization​ But​ Imphal Was Experiencing A Dark Time Of Economic Torpor, Political Insecurity And Unemployment​.Sanamacha Sharma’S A Land Of Dreams Trails The Lives Of Ibomcha And Manikanta, Father And Son, The Old And The New, In A Swiftly Changing Manipuri Society. Troubled By The Past, Ibomcha Partly Shuts Himself Off From The World And Seeks Purpose In Taking Care Of His Moreh Dukan And Family. Baffled By The Present, Manikanta Finds Solace In A Half-Baked Idea And Flirts With The Delusion Of Student Politics. A Land Of Dreams Take​S​ You Into The Violent Mess That Imphal Has Turned Into, A Prudish Intolerant Society Where Nobody Is What They Appear To Be​. Youth That Is Lost In Romance And Pills; A Madman Beaten To Death For Hugging A Girl; A College Girl Shot In The Thigh For Featuring In A Private Porn Video And Love That Remains Unexpressed.Amidst This Horror Survive Its Inhabitants Who Never Stop Hanging Onto Dreams, For Imphal Is A Land Of Dreams.
