The short film is an endeavour to raise a very pertinent issue in contemporary India - the increasingly high rate of unemployment. The story is told from the point of view of a young engineer, freshly out of college and filled with hopes and aspirations about his future. However, as the harsh reality about the lack of jobs sinks in, he finds himself succumbing to the emotional pressure of taking his life. <br><br> By showing the plight of a helpless young professional, the film further tries to be a comment on mental health and the toll an uncertain career can take on it. While jobs remain at an all-time low, who is to be blamed - the education system, societal or professional expectations, or simply the apathy of people to help each other?

Engineer | Short Film Nominee

What happens when a dedicated, hard-working employee finds himself against the wall in his workplace? All he hopes for is getting a week off from work for a holiday in Goa. However, things soon take a heated turn when he finds his senior dissing him over a phone call, immediately after having manipulated him into not asking for leave. <br><br> What the film potentially aspires to do is convey the frustration and helplessness of an honest employee who finds himself virtually powerless in the face of red-tapism and hierarchy of his workplace. As he prepares to finally hold his senior accountable, will he be able to secure his leave?
