The film is a slice of life from the love story of two people who fall in love quickly and wholeheartedly. The narrative spends time and effort in constructing its world for the viewer, complete with the visual grammar and the overall ambiance of the realm the characters inhabit. From quiet moments of companionship to playful exchanges of affection and intimacy, the narrative invokes them all. The film endeavors a deliberate sense of otherworldliness, a space that is conjured around the metaphysical aspects of a bond, more than the corporeal. The most notable pronunciation of the same is in the visuals, color palette, and background score. 

Additionally, there is a marked ease between the two actors, along with a sincerity of performance. The moment the story explores is not only of union, but also of parting, and goodbyes. The message that the conclusion eventually echoes is that it is the depth of a meeting and shared love, and not its duration, that truly defines it.

Summer Afternoon | Short Film of the Day

The short film is a story of a couple during the Covid-19 lockdown when they are unable to travel and are forced to live in the same house despite all desires of doing otherwise. Their relationship is further portrayed for the viewer by way of small arguments and disagreements between them. 

 From household chores to the content they watch on television, the two do not see each other eye to eye on any issue. As they look for the positive aspects of the end of their relationship, the film presents its story to the audience - one that wants to assert the idea of new beginnings, rather than a saddening end of something. 

 Hope and positivity therefore become the primary emotions the final result wants to leave the viewer with, reminding them by way of its title that no matter how tough things might seem, there is always a choice regarding the manner in which they can be tackled.

The story of the film relies on memory, reminisce and an idea of the past its two characters have seemingly left behind. However, more than anything, the overarching emotion that comes to dominate the narrative is one of regret of things that were never said out loud, and thus were forever left hidden as a secret that soon became to heavy to burden.
