It's a rushed morning in a household where a woman tries to keep everything up and running for all family members. However, amidst the burden of the myriad social expectations, how will her desires and reality find an expression?
Short Film of the Day November 3, 2023
"The film's story deliberately keeps itself obscure, shuttling between the lives of two women. While one woman strives to keep the household on track, doing everything exactly as it should be, the other completely refuses to adhere to any of these rules and norms. The scene is initially of a mundane morning that soon incorporates a longer glimpse into the lives of all of the family members, eventually giving way to a crucial revelation about the protagonist."

Director's Note
The concept of the film actually originates from the world of a woman, like the protagonist of the film, and how she has kept herself inside the finite walls of her thought process which oscillates between her dreams and responsibilities, and above all, the societal expectations that she cannot escape.
So, for us, it was important to create that anxiety with every frame. Her loneliness has given way to a world which she concocts for herself. She is a daughter in that world, she is a mother in that world where she still cannot break the shackles of societal entrapment.
