Sick

Workplace and street sexual harassment are more common realities of a woman's life than most men choose to acknowledge or accept. The short film endeavours an engagement with not simply the unease, disconcertment, and in several cases, the trauma of the women who are at the receiving end of this, but goes a step further. It brings in men into the conversation, allowing the situation to be approached by a man who had perhaps never looked at it in this manner.

What follows next, at a breakneck pace, are disturbing realisations on his part when he begins to finally comprehend that he too, whether implicitly or explicitly, is also part of the same problem. From his own friends and companions, to absolute strangers, men he might have stumbled across all his life, innumerable of them are complicit in it, making the problem too prevalent for him to ignore anymore. On the whole, the film is well-intentioned and offers a zealous effort to do its bit to add to the dialogue on gender.
