THE EMBRACE

Siddharth and Shalaka are a newly married couple living in a joint family, in a small traditional living quarter which is part of a larger structure called a chawl. The cramped house doesn’t give any privacy to anyone but over time people learn to deal with it. Everyone knows. Everyone can hear. A quest to find intimacy amongst the multitude becomes insurmountable.Is this crowded city able to give up space for that embrace A short film about finding your corner where every emotion is in your face and yet…. you are anonymous
