drama · Short Films · hindi

‘Chappal’ wants to tell an important story, one that speaks about both cruelty and kindness. It also draws one’s attention to how the defenseless are treated by society.

Our protagonist is a young girl who has no home or family. However, she is armed with the hope of meeting her mother one day by taking a flight to heaven where her soul resides since her passing. As she begs to save up enough money to buy a flight ticket, the world and its malicious elements have another plan up their sleeve.

One day she comes into the company of a gentle, concerned woman, who clothes and feeds her, and yet, is unable to protect her from those who lose no time in taking advantage of her gullibility and naïveté. While the sound deparment exhibits some rough edges, the storytelling shows sincerity to make an important comment about the rampant prevalence of assault and violence inflicted on women.
