The Red Suitcase

Nepal, Sri Lanka  • 2023

A pick-up driver sets off on the long journey from Kathmandu airport to a remote mountain village with a delivery arriving from abroad. At the same time, a solitary figure with a small red suitcase makes his way along the country road towards the same village. Along the seemingly endless roads, mysterious events take place that may be directly related to the delivery.

In his remarkable feature film debut, anthropologist and filmmaker Fidel Devkota reflects the mood in Nepal today, which is marked by political and economic uncertainty. An atmospheric road movie through the breathtaking landscape of Nepal.

THE RED SUITCASE Testimonials

“A gem that must be considered. Every frame communicates a heightened sense of human emotions and experiences. The Red Suitcase emanates a lingering effect through a deeply humane story, set within an enchanting visual spectacle. It becomes an artistic mirror that reflects our struggle, resilience, and hope in the face of life’s unpredictable journey.”


- Bita Habibi, Universal Cinema Film & TV Journal

“Political protest, poetically-toned parable and an eerie streak of the supernatural make for an undeniably individual package.”

- Jonathan Romney, Screen Daily

"With an extraordinary narrative that combines social and political consciousness in a sweeping film full of lyricism, The Red Suitcase captivates from the beginning due to its eloquent use of suspense."


- Rosana G. Alonso, Style Feel Free Magazine
