A young woman called Ameena arrives at her place of work, a small tailoring workshop, and immediately infuses the scene with discomfort. Something seems to be weighing on her, something which is far from the immediate reality of her imminent wedding. Portrayal of our protagonist’s thoughts reveal her conundrum, her love for a man, Kumar, who doesn’t have the same religious identity as her. <br><br> By delineating the woe and tribulations of the young lovers, the film quietly presents a comment on the many shackles that confine and withhold love, eventually concluding with a sense of perhaps wish fulfilment, in this world or the next, where these confines cease to exist. 


Ameena | Short Film Nominee

The film is imaginative, dystopian as well as real. The fable of The Little Red Riding Hood inspires the
story. The temporality of the film is perhaps deliberately kept ambiguous to imply that not much has changed since the
time of the lore to the present when it comes to the violence inflicted upon women. <br><br> The wolves spare no
one, neither the little Red Riding Hood, nor her grandmother. There is, even today, no country for women. The narrative aims to drive this message home by bringing in a sense of dystopia, thrill, dark fantasy, horror and violence.
