The short is a glimpse into a single struggle and moment that the protagonist is battling. He is agonizing over capturing the perfect shot when a sudden, strange development allows him a new perspective into the circumstance. After he ends up time traveling, and he secures the opportunity to observe his pursuit of the photograph from an external point of view, his approach changes in a seismic manner. This, in turn, also becomes the plot's primary message for the viewer, to always remember the joy and happiness they had attached to an act of creativity while embarking on it. The effect of this on the young photographer's fate enforces and reiterates the significance of the same joy.

The Perfect Shot | Short Film Nominee

The entire narrative plays out with a fixed frame monologue that a character delivers before an unknown listener. From the things he says, it is apparent that the story is located in a world ridden with the coronavirus pandemic. As the man speaks about reaching out to other people, a sense of emotional and physical isolation, and loneliness is also suggested. When the plot finally reveals its cards, the same message is asserted, one about the importance of companionship and the strength to overcome adversity with the help of the love and support of near and dear ones. The idea is further allowed a reiteration by means of poetry.

However, when we are met with obstacles, it is absolutely imperative to remember important lessons of hope and to always find within ourselves the will to keep pushing forth. The film emphasises the same idea by introducing us to a single character. Waking up with a desire to move freely to his favourite music, he brings out the earphones and readies his phone for the same. However, the action does not have the expected outcome, and it is in this that the true message of the film lies.
