drama · Short Films · hindi

Marriage as a traditional institution often leaves women in very difficult and oppressive circumstances. The short film analyzes the said reality by presenting to you a regular household. The domestic space is marked by verbal and emotional abuse where the woman's priorities are constantly demanded to be pushed aside to make space for her husband's life.

The metaphor suggested in the title of the film dominates her existence as she finds herself squeezed out of every bit of strength and patience. Her thoughts are consumed by the darkness of her life and situation, further suggested by the monochromatic visuals painted before you. When she finds herself at the end of the rope, however, something crucial awaits, a decision that would alter the course of her life forever.
