We Envy a Cat

By Vibhu Tyagi with 6.5

drama · Short Films · hindi

Two roommates, with diverse, even conflicting approaches to love and life, share an interesting conversation over tea and cigarettes. On the one hand, there is the loveless cynic who criticizes films and media for over-romanticizing sexual relationships. He brings in the analogy of cats being neutered at an early age and how that helps them live longer, fuller lives.

The optimist, on the other hand, advises his friend to not give up on ‘love’ as it is endearing and leads to personal growth. However, it seems as if his seemingly perfect long-distance relationship is not as smooth and effortless as he would prefer it to be. They converse further on related topics and an unsaid understanding develops, owing to their own personal experiences, along with the realization that for better or worse, they both envy a cat.
