A young man finds himself without a job and unable to figure out the direction in which his life headed. In addition to this, there is a constant tension in the equation that he shares with his father. However, amidst it all, two of his closest friends turn out to be pillars of undeniable strength for him, earning the three of them the title of The Musketeers. As so many different elements swirl around the protagonist, opposing forces too make their presence felt, threatening this comfortable equation of friendship and loyalty. Will the main characters be able to conquer these strong currents of discord and conflict, allowing their friendship and interpersonal relationships to emerge victorious? With this as an intrinsic concern, the storytelling overall comes across as being sweet, coupled with a sincere narrative about overcoming hardships with the love and support of your loved ones, and valuing your well-wishers over those elements of the world that may try to separate you from them.

The Musketeers | Short Film Nominee

The short film is marked by its absence of dialogues, and in several places, a background score, endeavoring to share its story simply by the visuals unfolding before you. A man is alone at home, his parents' return having been delayed for some reason, when strange occurrences begin to occur around him. He imagines a stranger, a violent intruder in his house, only to eventually find him to be a fragment of his imagination. This eventually gets tied with an addiction to technology or screens that all of us have battled, specifically in the past year, often ignoring so many other potential hobbies or activities we could have explored. However, even after this lesson has been realized, and one might consider it to be the end of the protagonist's troubles, another unexpected and shocking development awaits him, as well as the viewer, at the heart of the film.
