The ad film is a simple reminder for the viewer to share a little of what they have with someone who might not possess the same. The idea is to inspire them to pledge their eyes so that one day they may be of help to another person in need. This premise is realised by weaving together responses of several people from different walks of life. <br><br> What the film succeeds in achieving is the variety of inputs from across the spectrum in terms of gender, age groups, nationalities, and cultural and social locations. It is simple and direct in sharing its intentions with the viewer, leaving them with a positive message about their duty and responsibility towards society. This is further coupled with a glimpse of people's understanding of the darkness that accompanies night, also echoing a sighted person's comprehension of the reality of someone leading their life without the sense of vision.

The Sound of Night | Short Film Nominee

In an apartment that is consumed by shadows and darkness, a man arrives in the most suspicious manner. Because these events unfold during a pandemic, his face is covered by a mask, which he removes, along with his gloves, as soon as he enters. He is clearly an intruder, working surreptitiously, and in a hurry to get his task done of robbing the owner of this house. <br><br> This is the scene the film has set so far for the viewer. However, soon the owner himself arrives and a very different and unexpected set of events develop. In the process, the narrative comes across as being well-intentioned with an important message for the viewer, both pertaining to acts of kindness in a coronavirus-ridden world, as well as about the emptiness of hollow show-off to impress people who can perhaps never be pleased.
