The film opens with a quote that establishes the horizon of expectation for the viewer - the constant effort that is needed to nurture and harbor love, to ensure its flame never dims. The narrative breaks itself into three courses of a dinner, but the stages come to stand less for the food itself, and more for the progress of a very crucial conversation that has the power to determine the fate of the relationship we are presented with. 
As the story progresses, the writing, alongside noteworthy performances and the chemistry of the actors, presents a thoughtful exploration of the myriad nuances and complexities that make a relationship. With the passage of time, and the many overwhelming challenges it ushers in, a relationship can morph into something truly alienating and isolating. The film, thus, becomes a story of two people finding their way back to companionship, away from this isolation. The screenplay and narratorial progression ensure that all of these various parts are allowed a sincere engagement and portrayal all along.

First Time | Spotlight

Our first glimpse into 'Status', and the lives of its characters is by way of an affectionate moment between two people that immediately establishes their closeness. However, our expectations are soon subverted by the arrival of a third character, the fiance of the woman we had seen so far. As the story progresses, a love triangle emerges, along with heartbreak, promise of an unexpected union, but eventually, foiled plans. 
The final result exhibits desire to push boundaries of storytelling, even if not going all the way. If these wrinkles can be ironed out, the path is already paved for more similar endeavors in the future.
