One night, a 14-year-old boy collecting cicadas in the forest with other villagers disappears and cannot be found anywhere. There is a rumour that an alleged group of child kidnappers is stalking around the village at night. The villagers believe these kidnappers are trained and sent by the big hospitals in the city for a human organ transplant business. As the villagers are unsure whether the missing boy has been kidnapped by the stalkers or by the forest nymph, they organize a Village Defense Party to guard the village at night. As the town is grappling with the fear of kidnappers, the church announces the arrival of a miraculous statue of the Virgin Mary sent by the Pope to every Catholic Church in the world, warning of an approaching apocalyptic darkness which will last for 80 days. Nothing will give light except for the blessed candles provided by the priest. Through Kasan (10), who suffers from night blindness, and his father, Nengsal (45), who is the village's head of security, we witness the unfolding of unprecedented events in the town and how it affects their lives in this chaotic time.

It is not often that one has the opportunity to watch a film spoken in Garo language, one of the two principal languages of Meghalaya – a northeastern Indian state that borders with Bangladesh. Such is the case with Rimdogittanga (Rapture), the second feature length film by Indian filmmaker Dominic Sangma, whose debut MA.AMA (2018) premiered internationally at the Shanghai International Film Festival. The film's opening immediately reveals the filmmaker's great talent: an impressively crafted and carefully staged plan-sequence reveals a group of villagers, lanterns in hand, wandering through the night and trying to find and catch cicadas, which appear in the area only once every few years. It is nighttime and the film’s tone is set. The narrative will come next, when the morning after, the villagers realize a child is missing. Slowly, the fear of the appearance of unknown kidnappers will spread across the community and the key characters of this collective film will be introduced – mainly little Kasan, a specifically-looking kid suffering from night blindness who seems to be an alter ego of director Sangma; but also several of its elder members, whose provincialism does not allow them to see " further" and will eventually lead to disgrace. The ever-present Christian church and its Pastor, instead of truly enlightening the people, will be feeding their narrow-mindedness with devotion and unrest. That said, Rimdogittanga is a film that does not focus on a central character, but...
