A man is sitting by himself in his room when a strange smell catches his attention. As he wades his way through the semi-lit house, little is he aware of an uninvited guest, a robber, and the petty theft that is underway as a result. <br><br>While the film might employ a moment of high tension, it deliberately remains marked by humour and lightheartedness, eventually catching you unaware with the development it shares at its conclusion. This further reveals the potential it exhibits in the department of writing, leaving the door open for more such projects by the lean crew.

Robbery in 2020 | Lockdown Film Challenge

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.
