The film offers a quiet, calm story of hesitation, nervousness, personal battles and eventually overcoming them all to achieve what you truly desire. A man struggles with a speech disorder in the form of a stutter. Despite his best efforts, he is unable to lead a regular life, often suffering great damage at his inability to articulate the right words in time. Parallel to this is a sweet, blooming romance which has been confined only to the virtual realm for six months now. Our eponymous protagonist is extremely fond of the girl which is precisely why he is drowning in hesitation at the prospect of finally meeting her. The narrative does a notable job of handling his insecurities and fears regarding the rendezvous. He tries to evade, delay and simply ignore it, and yet, finds himself buying a bouquet of roses, a little present, dressing up in a fine, white attire and heading out to finally meet her. What will then truly be the outcome of this meeting?

Arundeep Singh | Short Film Nominee

Living in an orthodox society which looks down on pre-marital sex and teen pregnancy, Ananya and Pranav find themselves in a fix when their home-experiment for a pregnancy test results in a positive. Ananya’s mother soon arrives to find her in dire emotional straits, and after some probing, she finally reveals the truth. 
As the two women undergo an intense experience, one that is especially and unnecessarily burdensome for women in a patriarchal society, shaming and rejecting them for an unplanned pregnancy, the story comes into existence. Whether the narrative itself subscribes to the moral policing of female bodies or condemns it, remains unclear. However, at the same time, Ananya finds herself reaching a new space of warmth and understanding with her mother at the end of it all.
