It's comforting to see more and more voices join the conversation around choice. When it comes to a woman's attire, everyone seems to have an opinion which they would enthusiastically share with the world without the slightest request. In such a scenario, when two women sit down to have a calm conversation about their idea of dressing, it's indeed a refreshing change. No matter where you find yourself on the spectrum of covering up your body, you will definitely find something in the video to agree with. The idea behind it is simple, but powerful like strong narratives should be. It's well-argued, well-scripted and well-performed. So, when a young actor in her ripped jeans meets an English Literature professor in a burqa at a bus stop, whose ideology would echo with you more?

Asli Holi | Short Film of the Day

Domestic abuse remains one of the harshest realities of our patriarchal society. However, what is even more disturbing than this truth itself is the silence around this form of assault - be it verbal, physical or sexual. And to make matters worse, women who are meted out this violent treatment are coerced and forced into keeping the abuse a secret often by their own family members and loved ones, leaving them even more isolated. The short film is a discussion around the same issues which it offers by taking us into an ordinary morning in a married woman's life. As soon as wakes up, the bruises on her face make the reality of the previous night evident for the viewer. From hiding the discolouration on her face, to forcing herself to smile when she looks at her reflection, the film makes a notable case for driving its point home, further complemented by the performance of its only actor. The visuals, however, stand to gain from a little stability.
