Ok! Silexatana

By Sonal Mazumder with 6.1

comedy · Short Films · english

The story of the film is of one morning when a woman is in a rush to get ready and head out of her house to an important meeting. As Jennifer moves out of bed, her long list of gadgets await the moment when their human companion would finally be up. Each more eager than the other to provide information, leads to the realisation of the truth of the age-old adage - too many cooks spoil the broth.

In its comedic manner, where chaotic events follow one after another in quick successions, the film is also a comment on the deep infestation of technology in our lives. Consequently, instead of making things simpler, it has led to more confusion.

The same is engaged with using virtual assistants that include Siri, Cortana and Alexa. Amidst the rigmarole of all the unimportant information being hurled at the hassled protagonist, can she really find her way out of this jungle to make it to her meeting in time? The film is an endeavour to interact with this concern, while also bringing in a humourous conversation between its many virtual characters.
