The short film is an engagement with domestic abuse and the plight of a woman stuck in an abusive marriage. While delineating the same, it unwittingly also offers a paradigmatic example of the cycle of violence and hate. The story is a notable feature of the film as is its execution.

However, it loses in the technical department of lighting and camerawork, an aspect that keeps it from being all that it could have been. Overall, it is a zealous, well-intentioned attempt to draw the viewer's attention to a deeply disturbing part of marital dynamics as well as the location of women in a patriarchal society.
