As a woman finds herself overwhelmed by an inexplainable sense of melancholia during the coronavirus lockdown, she turns to art and filmmaking to make some sense of the reality she has unexpectedly found herself at the heart of. The film is a portrayal of the same, presented to the viewer in a manner that shows promise and potential, capable of being explored further in future projects.

The narrative is an endearing, heartwarming story of creative passions, and the significance of the pursuit of one’s dreams. However, practical demands, and responsibilities often get in the way of following the heart’s calling, and the film is a devoted and entertaining portrayal of the same. It takes us into a household where the children are deeply passionate about everything, but their academics. 
On the contrary, their father has a long subdued yearning for filmmaking, but he has muzzled it while taking care of his worldly duties, or as he often calls it, the need to “put food on the table”. The film becomes an effervescent overlap of the two currents, the children and their father. Though the visuals exhibit a little inconsistency, the treatment, approach and tonality of the end result, all evidence potential and the desire to share a story.

Three men and a woman constitute the world of the film. An attempt is made to stylize its storytelling with an overlap of narratives. The many crossroads that exist between each character are eventually explained at the film’s conclusion. Until then, it is a story of rejection, heartbreak, and a threat of violence that ties it all together. The end result is impeded a little by an inconsistency of visuals. The storytelling, on the other hand, shows sincerity and a desire for narrative-building that could be explored further in future projects.
