Engineer

By Manushya Academy with 6.2

drama · Short Films · hindi

The short film is an endeavour to raise a very pertinent issue in contemporary India - the increasingly high rate of unemployment. The story is told from the point of view of a young engineer, freshly out of college and filled with hopes and aspirations about his future. However, as the harsh reality about the lack of jobs sinks in, he finds himself succumbing to the emotional pressure of taking his life.

By showing the plight of a helpless young professional, the film further tries to be a comment on mental health and the toll an uncertain career can take on it. While jobs remain at an all-time low, who is to be blamed - the education system, societal or professional expectations, or simply the apathy of people to help each other?
