As paranoia, fear and anxieties associated with a pandemic come to constitute our 'new normal', the short film takes us into the life of a young woman living by herself. From scrubbing her hands multiple times in a day, to drowning her footwear, mask and other objects of daily use in heaps of detergent and water, she does it all to protect herself during the coronavirus outbreak.
The film is interesting in its approach to these events, marked primarily by a complementary edit. In addition to this, an element of the comic is also roped in by mapping the narrative against the highs and lows of an opera that forms its background score. During a time when things at the horizon seem increasingly bleak, the film offers a lighthearted, fun interpretation of a pandemic that is already threatening to douse our spirits.
