Nomophobia

By Viswanath Abhishek with 6.3

thriller · Short Films · hindi

The film draws attention to the infestation of technology in our lives, deep enough to lead to mental health problems with far-reaching consequences. As the title suggests, it engages with nomophobia, the extreme and irrational fear of being away from your smartphone.

The story is of one such young boy who has been diagnosed with it. As he struggles to overcome it, relapsing into a cycle of temporary comfort with worse consequences, the film comes across as a notable attempt to explore its subject. Despite its limited resources, the film becomes a brave attempt to put forth its message.
