Ayaan is tasked with being a temporary caregiver for his grandmother. As he tries to communicate with her he tries to sort out who he is and deal with specters of his past.
This is one of the best shorts I've seen this year. It's a film that if full of great characters that you want to spend a lot of time with.
This is also the one short I've seen to date that screams to be made into a feature film. There is so here that it could easily fill a two plus hour film. This is a film that has a great deal on its mind.
I'm not going to say a great deal about the film. It's not that I don't have anything to say, but rather its a question of I don't want to clue you into what things mean. There are a lot of silences and sequences that you have to decide what they mean. This is a film that requires you engage with it. I won't tell you how to do that.
This film is a stunner. I expect this to have a long life, and I fully expect director Shehrezad Maher make some features.
Recommended.
