Samsara

thriller · Short Films · english

The title itself, referring to the cycle of life and death and their entwining with existence, ensures a sense of repetition that would either come to define the narrative, or the lives of the characters located within it, or both.

We are soon introduced to a woman who awaits a potential candidate in her office. As soon as the interview commences, it becomes abundantly clear that something is deeply amiss. The confused candidate, Sakshi, finds her bewilderment increasing manifold when she is unable to remember even the most basic details about her day and life. The smell of something burning continues to strengthen, perhaps also suggesting the sulphurous fires of a hellish realm. However, despite it all, how will the two women reconcile their reality of a loop where a pattern has been fixed in place seemingly for eternity?
