At the core of ‘Nausea’ is a sincere exploration of the many emotional states that the unnamed protagonist deals with. The story opens with black and white visuals, also conjuring a sense of a lackluster reality for the character before us. From vast expanses of nature, to tight frames of animals, trees and dying leaves, the film includes them all. <br><br> 

The boy continues with his emotional turmoil. He seems to be searching for something - is it meaning in existence? An answer to a personal quandary? Companionship and an end to isolation? Is it all of this or nothing at all? With a narrative devoid of any dialogue, the film raises these questions for the viewer, allowing them to unpack each answer on their own, while itself completing the entire trajectory it has presented thus before them.


Nausea | Short Film Nominee

The film is an engagement with thoughts about the self, the haunting nature of memory and a deep angst the protagonist struggles with. There is also the mention of a divine force that takes care of the events in your life, and perhaps means you well, especially when you feel things are not going your way. However, what happens when you find yourself trapped in a cyclical pattern of the same thoughts that bother you and ensure you never break out of this torture - is it something the divine force has decreed for your growth or are you doomed to a fate of endless pain and misery? <br><br> The film raises this question and attempts a notable background score to pronounce and amplify its thoughts further. The smooth edit further allows it to put forth a narrative exhibiting potential and leaving the door open with promise of more such projects by the young team.
