The film opens on a promising note, one that immediately sets an intriguing premise in place. A worried woman is trailing a car, soon followed by a phone call she makes to an undisclosed recipient. Once the story has the viewer's attention, it allows itself to follow a non-linear trajectory, taking the viewer a little back in time to give them a glimpse of an average household of a married couple and their young son. The strongest aspect of the film is its storytelling which takes its time revealing its core intentions to the audience. By invoking the several complexities of marriage, it further offers a significant comment about sexuality and desire between two people and how it often comes to be forced into strict categories and boxes of the normative. Further, the film is well-intentioned and puts forth a strong attempt to talk about a relevant concern. While at first glance it is about fidelity and relationships, there is a deeper, much-needed comment waiting beyond the initial impression made by the narrative. The ending, however, while sufficient for some viewers, might exhibit a want of a more definite closure for others.

RGB | Short Film of the Day

When viewing someone's life from the outside, a reality might be conjured which is far from the truth. The short film is an exploration of the same thought, as it allows its plot to unfold for the viewer. Two friends meet in a foreign country after almost a decade. While one thinks the other has his life very efficiently put together, the consequent events reveal a different reality. The former has turned up on his doorstep with the hope of asking him for some financial help. However, once he realises the unpleasant dynamics of the latter's life, there is an insight on life and existence available both for him as well as the audience.
