A dead boy’s body is found on the shore by fishermen. They conjecture about what to do with it, but are reluctant to take responsibility. The same site transforms as a beach for people where they
come for recreation or leisure, like morning walks. <br><br> The seaside also belongs to dogs who wander about.
The film observes the light and shadow of the place and life, each element indifferent to each other, going about its quiet existence, perhaps serving as a metaphor for life itself.

Kinaari | Short Film Nominee

Anusha finds his colleague Aditya grieving his father’s death one night in office. Naturally, feeling
sorry for his loss, she wishes to comfort him. They step out for a smoke, and realise this was the first
time that they were having a conversation, despite all these years of working together. After finding
themselves in the midst of a tragic circumstance, they begin to bond over shared pain. <br><br> Talking to a
stranger about your deepest loss can become a weird and awkward situation, but Aditya and Anusha
find comfort in each other. Perhaps, there is also an ease in baring your vulnerability to a stranger. She
tells him that when she was a child her mother would say, people who died turned into stars. But since
she is unable to show Aditya any ‘real’ star in the sky, she instead creates a starry night for him.
