Beauty is traditionally associated with age, but that is a gross misestimation, highlights this short film. By showing that it is more than skin deep and that it truly transcends age, the short film wonderfully portrays a woman's process of getting ready.
As she applies kohl, decks herself in her finest attire, lets the sound of her bangles disrupt the silence that had ensconced itself around her, the narrative forces the viewer to reassess their idea of beauty as defined by convention. Where is beauty if not in the smile of a woman dressed in all her glory and finding endless joy in that, asks the narrative. It further equips itself with some lovely visuals to drive its message home impactfully.
