The estrangement of a couple of months precedes the meeting the film presents to the viewer. The awkwardness nestled in the separation soon diffuses as the two sisters before us begin their exchange. 

What starts with banter and innocent hesitation turns into an extremely heated argument in a heartbeat, swiftly bringing the many issues and undercurrents that define a familial dynamic to the fore. It also pronounces the sentiment established in the title of the film. This escalation within the plot arrives with ease, both as a result of the performances as well as the construction of the narrative. 

The limited physical space of a single room thus comes to stand for several unresolved issues between the sisters, presenting a concise endeavor that displays a natural affinity towards storytelling, and the promise of more similar emotional explorations in the future.

The film uses the metaphor of a train ride to convey its message and uses it for an effervescent portrayal of a young woman's chance encounter with a former lover. As the woman reminisces the journey from the confines of a room, the metro ride is delineated parallelly by the narrative alongside a story of union and parting. Made as a student film, it shows great potential which can be realised in subsequent projects by the team. The film is honest and simple and attempts a poignant story of love, loss and the constantly forward-moving trajectory of life.
