Surreal, dream-like images merge and blur into one another to present forth a representation of our quarantined reality for the viewer. The phrase 'stay home' has been thrown around in the recent months to the extent of now harbouring within itself several meanings. Similarly, when the film chooses it as its title, one can expect to stumble across numerous interpretations it has come to stand for. <br><br> As the narrative traverses from one image to another, serving as symbols and metaphors for cabin fever, emotional and physical fatigue, the stillness of life during quarantine, isolation and loneliness, it becomes a glimpse of how the filmmaker views and understands our lived reality, which is, might it be pointed out, very much his. <br><br> From the many administrative measures (or the lack of them) to a sense of becoming one with your furniture and walls, Stay Home invokes it all. Mapping a time period of over fifty-five days, after which time too becomes an unquantifiable commodity, the film further attempts an adequate portrayal of how life during the pandemic, while being an experience personal and individual to every single person in different parts of the world, is still imbued with an undeniable and irrevocable universality.
