drama · Short Films

The short film starts off as a woman's struggle to find meaning in her life through her passion - cooking. It's the story of a homemaker who prepares elaborate meals for her husband on a daily basis.

There's not much to occupy herself with the whole day, with her husband and friends busy with their own lives. Thus, she decides to start a blog about her culinary skills and interests. Predictably, the blog soars high with several thousand followers within the first month itself. However, she is unhappy because she feels she still doesn't have her husband's validation. This is precisely where the film disappoints the viewer. Perhaps the intention of the filmmaker was to portray an innocent love story where the woman finds her fame and success hollow without her husband by her side, but the portrayal of this intention fails to fulfill the expectation of its audience.
