sci fi · Short Films · kannada

The viewer is taken fifty years into a dim and uninviting future, where a haphazardly-evacuated modern house and a traditional set of mat and cushion rest before them. A disoriented protagonist wakes up from his deep sleep and inspects the strange surroundings where even his appearance seems foreign to him. Meanwhile, alerts regarding a natural calamity, which is potentially apocalyptic, goes off in the background.

The alerts being in English, perhaps, seem incomprehensible to the protagonist who struggles to understand the sequence of events. As the stakes rise and the end approaches, the most important development, followed by a crucial revelation, is presented to the audience. Due to another unexpected set of events, relief follows into the narrative, along with the ushering of an amicable territory - the land of Kannada.
