Lift Up Your Spirits

comedy · Short Films · hindi

When coronavirus seems to have the world tightly within its hold, plummeting spirits everywhere, this film surfaces as an attempt to address the very sense of despair and dejection. Consequently, the tone it adopts right from the start is a lighthearted one. This, in turn, allows it to not only justify its title, but also present its intentions to the viewer in a lucid manner. The plot pivots on a virtual potluck and a few couples getting together on a video call to share the experiences of their own lived reality.

As stories begin to flow from different parts of the globe - India, Italy, Canada and the US, the film endeavours to rope in humour and comedic moments to drive its message home. This video call is followed by another a couple of days later with more updates being exchanged between the group, further aiming to amplify and accentuate its message of positivity and hope irrespective of how dark things might seem.
