The short film has a very important comment to make about a society that worships its goddesses, but forgets to apply the same approach, or one of even basic respect, when it comes to women and young girls in its lived reality. The narrative is weaved from the point of view of a young girl who is running out on the streets to meet her father at the river bank. While she is dressed in the garb of a goddess which the city prepares to celebrate soon, the lecherous glares that are turned in her direction tell a vastly different story.
The film offers a supportive and accepting male presence as well in the form of her father, perhaps suggesting that men are not to be dismissed with a single stroke of the brush. However, the disconcertment of being ogled at for the first time remains an unshakable memory for most women, despite the comfort of loving men in their lives. The film explores all of these concerns and presents them for the viewer to engage with.
