Lovusion uses visual imagery and symbolism to present an account of love and coping with the loss of it. The protagonist, distraught and anxious following a deeply traumatic incident, is unable to grapple with the aftermath. He has, instead, taken refuge in projecting his deep-felt emotions on a blooming, red rose. <br><br>
He believes the rose to be an embodiment, a living and conscious form, of his recently deceased partner and thus, vows to preserve and protect it. Even though this experience is extremely remorseful and painful, he chooses to stay with it, for the love he once shared and experienced, underlines the narrative.

Lovusion | Short Film Nominee

The film essentially wants to be a conversation on tradition and modernity, choosing to locate itself in the cultural ethos of Tamil Nadu. It brings up jallikattu, a traditional event of the state which made headlines in the country as protests erupted against it in the recent past. It also wants to communicate the message about preserving your cultural inheritance for overall progress and growth of an identity that is rooted in that culture. <br><br>However, the film only offers its desires, intention, and the problems that obstruct them. It initiates a dialogue, but does not cover the entire distance of providing definite solutions for the same. Perhaps this aspect could be explored further by the filmmaker in their future projects.
