The film ties together violence with the innocence of childhood as well as the complete incapability of adults to comprehend or reconcile the two. The story opens with a little boy murdering the pets in his house. The concerned Brahmin parents of Pablo thus reach out to their spiritual leader to take him under her wing and perhaps 'mend' his ways. <br><br> The narrative provides a glimpse into upper class Brahmanism with its absolute faith in its religious structures. Consequently, the adults in-charge of the situation, much like the viewer, fail to assess the true cause behind the child's radical acts. The film deserves full points for the handling and execution of this aspect of the story, albeit a little too soft in the sound department. However, when the revelation finally arrives, would you be truly prepared for it?

Pablo | Short Film of the Day

A little boy scout has found himself in a real fix! His kite has ensconced itself up in a tree, and now he must take upon himself the adventure of fetching it; and once the fetching has been accomplished, to finally allow himself back on his feet on the ground. <br><br>

The short film is an endearing glimpse into this one very eventful afternoon in the life of an even more endearing protagonist. Like a feline creature, not devoid of his tricks and training as a scout, he finds himself at a spot low enough to climb, but high enough to daunt his spirits on the way down. The narrative captures all of this in a lovely manner, allowing the film to succeed in its simplicity. It is further coupled with a complementary background score, a notable edit and an efficient employment of its young cast, all of which ensure a smooth final result of the film.
