Borrowed Fire is a clear and poetic documentation of tol pava kuttu, the shadow theatre of Kerala, India. The film communicates the cultural context of the theatre and documents its changes in this generation, focusing on pulavar (master puppeteer) Krishankutty and his sons, whose work has been discussed in Friedrich Seltmann's Schattenspiel in Kerala (1986) and Stuart Blackburn's Inside the Drama House (1996).
