Trigger warning: sexual assault, sexual violence 

The film wants to tell a story of fierceness, and of sheer resilience and courage when all seems lost. Locating itself in the fictional realm of Khushmanda, it opens in the middle of action where a young girl, Aadya, has arrived at the village leader, Devi’s refuge with some key information. 
The subsequent events are marked by brutality, violence, and yet, an invincibility that harbors the strength to vanquish any foe. All the young women remain forces to be reckoned with in the film, bringing a powerful reality to life with their performance. The storytelling in its current form, however, is simply a moment in time. It would be intriguing to watch it taken further, complete with a cause-and-effect equation.

An astronaut has found herself stranded in a remote part of the universe, far away from home. The year is 2160, and she is all by herself except for a strange presence - a solitary red rose. The image of a lone figure with only a rose as its companion immediately draws to mind the image of an iconic little boy who too had found companionship in a flower on an empty planet. The image in the viewer’s mind is further strengthened the moment we hear the astronaut’s title, the Little Prince. 
The film that subsequently comes into existence is quiet, mellow, and characterized by an intensity of emotion that is both sincere and honest. The result exhibits potential and perhaps could also be developed into a longer project exploring the many (mis?)adventures of this particular Little Prince.
