The Secret Society

By Soujanya Srinivasan with 6

thriller · Short Films · english

A woman is sifting through old paraphernalia that has been collected by her father over the years. Combing through forgotten albums, photographs, defunct gadgets and so on, she stumbles across an inconspicuous compartment in her mother's bed, followed by another. A little exploration leads her to a set of names of people and their respective age.

It is in this way, strange and entertaining at the same time, that the film satirizes a reality most young women (and men) must be familiar with - a marriage network of mothers and their dedication to finding the perfect suitor for their daughters. It exhibits potential in terms of the thought behind the plot, but would have gained from a little fine-tuning of its visuals.
