drama · Short Films · tamil

Based on a short story by Ruskin Bond, The Eyes Have It, the short film endeavours to be a comment on the short-sightedness of human nature. It tries to draw attention to the fact that how one views the world is not simply confined to the sense of vision, but there are other ways of seeing too. The narrative opens with a visually impaired man, sitting alone in a train.

He is soon joined by a young woman he finds himself captivated by. Striking a conversation with her, he decides not to reveal his blindness to her during the course of it. They hit it off immediately and things seem to be going well when an unexpected turn changes the tune of the story. The film finally concludes with a reminder that things are not always what they seem, therefore we need to hone a vision that goes beyond the apparent.
