If a filmmaker manages to tap in the subtleties of storytelling, more than half the battle is won. This short film is a similar victory which straddles two narratives. A cameraperson loses his equipment during a scuffle.
When he manages to procure a second hand camera, the memory card that comes with it has a disturbing story to share - one of another young cameraperson who was subjected to extreme violence and cruelty at the hands of a policeman. The two narratives conflate to convey a powerful message about the state of the average people in a country where the powerful brazenly exploit their position. However, having said that, the film is not devoid of its flaws. While the story is a strong one, there are weaknesses in the manner in which it is executed. The film exhibits potential of being a brilliant work of art, but misses the mark by a significant distance.
