A Meek One

By Py Films with 6.6

drama · Short Films · english

The film preoccupies itself with an intense subject - the grief of a woman, Heer, in the wake of her husband’s suicide. As we traverse this journey of self-exploration, an emotional complexity is attempted, one that spans everything from insecurities to doubts to a loveless marriage and threats of violence.

The plot progresses from the point of view of the protagonist who is documenting her story on a camera. It is her voice that introduces us to all of these layers, presented and performed in a notable manner.

Because of the heaviness of the themes at hand, a few rough edges in the department of writing are inevitable, something that could have a gained from a little more seamlessness. And yet, the film presents a sincerity and earnestness that remains unmissable at the end of it all.
