Beauty is traditionally associated with age, but that is a gross misestimation, highlights this short film. By showing that it is more than skin deep and that it truly transcends age, the short film wonderfully portrays a woman's process of getting ready. <br><br> As she applies kohl, decks herself in her finest attire, lets the sound of her bangles disrupt the silence that had ensconced itself around her, the narrative forces the viewer to reassess their idea of beauty as defined by convention. Where is beauty if not in the smile of a woman dressed in all her glory and finding endless joy in that, asks the narrative. It further equips itself with some lovely visuals to drive its message home impactfully.

True Beauty is Timeless | Short Film of the Day

The film is a series of lovely visuals about travel and different locations weaved together for the audience's benefit. Created as a romance with the thrill and adventure of travelling, the short film ropes in several elements - poetry, an interaction with memory, nostalgia and dreams, and the tone and verve of a travelogue. <br><br> The opening note is in direct contrast with the rest of the plot, and intentionally so. As a man, on the brink of retirement and sitting by himself in shadows, is revisited by an old memory of his youth in the form of a video, a colourful, diverse and energetic narrative is brought to life on screen. The approach of the film is intimate and personal enough to erase the distinction between the protagonist and the actor himself, and it is this honesty in the storytelling which allows the short film to be a success.
