It All Starts From Within | Short Film of the Day

The short film engages with two serious concerns - body image and sexuality. However it fails to tie them together in a coherent narrative. While the audience is introduced to the thought, there isn't a very deep development of it. <br><br> The story is of a woman who struggles with body image issues and was isolated as a teenager by her peers due to her physical appearance. However, a business development one day, leads her to the shocking news of a friend's suicide. As she attempts to figure out the reasons that led to it, there is indeed another unexpected development for the audience. However, all of it together still falls short of making an emphatic comment on society and its treatment of the non-conformists, be it to body standards or sexual orientation.
