The film opens on an oppressively despondent note. All of us at some point have felt the overwhelming burden of a rut, of a mundane life that is constituted by living the same day over and over again. Our protagonist is located at the heart of one such circumstance. 
Even on his birthday, the emptiness and isolation of his lackluster life have left him drunk and alone in his car. However, when his path crosses with two men in an unlikely manner, a story of thrill and foolhardy behavior commences, a story that is never devoid of humor and inherent bonhomie. The two constantly define the situation as the protagonist now finds himself celebrating his twenty-ninth birthday with four men living a life vastly different from his. 
The chemistry of the actors, and the performances they bring to life, embellish the film markedly. The result is an honest glimpse into a problem that often plagues urban existence, and presents storytelling, and world-construction that exhibit deep potential and must be explored further in future projects.

Until Today | Spotlight

The entirety of the drama of the film comes to unfold within the confines of a single room. The lights are dim, allowing shadows more than enough space to dance around on the walls, as well as in the viewer's imagination. The room is plastered with film posters whose titles evoke a sense of discomfort. This is further supplemented with other paraphernalia in the form of figurines and showpieces which add to the eeriness of the atmosphere. The narrative develops with a voice recording as its only source of dialogue and succeeds in raising chills in the viewer, despite its limited resources. The writing and structuring of the plot allows it to make up for the latter, and leave the audience with an interesting visual experience.
