The offhand manner in which society views mental health by and large is a problem with adverse consequences. For someone who is struggling with issues of this kind, the dismissal of their experience, or making them feel like they are not heard, can be deeply isolating, forcing them further down a darker path.

The short film engages with the same concern and introduces the viewer to the struggles of its protagonist. Using metaphors and symbols, it adopts an experimental approach to share the story. In a world that is just beginning to come out of a pandemic, mental health issues had reached staggering levels, thereby further increasing the need for the conversation on the topic. The film does its bit to encourage and further the dialogue.
