In an attempt to be a heartfelt conversation with the self and its various hues and shades, the short film brings together a poetic narrative. A man takes the viewer through several emotions and the manner in which they have come to define the different aspects of his life. The tone is marked by introspection and deep emotion. As the narrator meanders across the various troughs and crests of life's several stages, a sense of romance and intimacy is also invoked. This, in turn, allows the poetry to come across as sincere, lucidly sharing with the viewer all of its concerns, undercurrents and propositions.

The idea of the narrative is to explore the question of women’s presence in public spaces, as well as their location in society. The approach remains marked by women from all over the country reciting lines into the camera, each of them questioning how their safety and security have been left at the mercy of a predominantly sexist society which still remains indifferent to their woes. Central to all of these ideas and their articulation is the question - am I safe? 
As the title of the short video is realized within the narratorial progression, its intentions are presented to the viewer in a lucid manner, all along adhering to its core intentions. The weaving of the different visuals exhibits a little inconsistency, however, in its texture and overall flow, perhaps a characteristic that can be smoothened out in the future projects by the team.

Tragedy, love and loss are crucial to the narratorial development of this short animated story. The many forms that they take, to eventually lead to uncontrollable rage and revenge, form the backbone of the plot. The temporal location of the narrative is in a dystopian, futuristic reality where the planet has been reduced to an unliveable state. Amidst the struggle to survive in the face of immense environmental destruction and deterioration, along with the iron grasp of institutions which leave little room for the individual to breathe, is also a story of personal loss. The final result is one of dedication to storytelling, even if showing a want of little more lucidity in some places. Having said that, it leaves the path open for more similar projects which strive to make metaphorical comments about contemporary reality.
