The short film is a glimpse into a locked down world, one we are all too familiar with by now. As a man finds himself confined indoors, he is soon also met with sad news about losing a friend. His reality is further constituted by ambulance sirens, emotional isolation, and most importantly, looking back at past memories. It is in this manner that he brings out an old letter to engage with, revealing to the viewer the main concerns of the film, as well as an interaction with a son-mother equation and all that it entails in terms of one's emotions.

Marupdai | Lockdown Film Challenge

The story endeavors to look at our pandemic-ridden reality through the eyes of a child who misses her teachers, friends and the life that once was. As she questions an older child about the same, the idea of nature finding some sort of relief from human intervention is invoked. It is then that the plot becomes a comment on how the environment was allowed a breath of air to recover while humans got confined to their homes during the Covid-19 lockdown.

Because of Corona | Lockdown Film Challenge

A man is alone at home, perhaps as part of a quarantine in a coronavirus-ridden world, when strange things begin to occur. Another being walks in the darkness - is it a monster? Something supernatural? Further, the story wants to explore one's relationship with fear. Shadows and darkness form an important component of the same engagement. However, the final product would have benefited from a slightly better control on its lighting and the lucidity of visuals.
