Women's presence in public spaces is a phenomenon fraught with complex dynamics that are controlled by strong forces of patriarchy, and the sexual harassment they can potentially lead to. Consequently, even an activity as mundane and ordinary as taking a bus can turn out to be a deeply traumatic and disorienting experience. Along with portraying the aforementioned concerns, the short film also engages with the paranoia and stress that can define a circumstance of this kind for a woman - an ordeal which makes little things like napping on a bus seem like a distant luxury allowed only to men.
All of these elements are weaved together for the film to present its comment to you, one about the existence of women within a patriarchal realm, and the manner in which it comes to influence all aspects of their lives. Additionally, it employs the play of words in its title to raise a pertinent question about where does a woman's power to question her location in society begin and end. How much control does she truly have in a world that has turned the blatant denial of her agency into norm?
