The short film attempts a portrayal of a deeply disturbing reality of India - honour killing. The narrative is structured in a manner to take the viewer by surprise. This surprise soon turns to a disconcerting sense of shock. As a mother and daughter duo sits chatting about their day-to-day affairs, it is soon revealed that their relationship has already been engulfed by tragedy. <br><br> Makavu further draws attention to how a mother is rendered powerless in both familial and societal structures. Unable to protect her daughter, she is further rejected by the authorities who are seemingly the custodians of justice. At the end of it all, in a society where women are simply at the mercy of men, be it their partners or the administrators of the state, which way does a woman turn to assuage the grief she carries within, asks the film.
