thriller · Short Films · english

The short film is an engaging psychological thriller that takes us into a night in Sid and Meera's life. The opening of the narrative establishes not only Meera’s profession as an environmental conservationist, but also her beliefs and ideas towards animals, and humans' relationship with them. However, the beginning marks the onset of something else as well- Sid’s disturbing fixation with a centipede Meera did not let him kill that night.

As Sid’s sanity spirals into absolute chaos, he loses all sense of night and day, reality and dreams, and begins to see the worm everywhere. The story and its premise is a unique one, sure to capture the viewer’s attention. The writing further ropes in relationship dynamics, eventually tying the narrative with the suggestion that the love shared between two people, no matter how tormented or disoriented, always remains an integral component of their lives.
