Synopsis

Lalit, 28, decides to come-out to his own parents. In order to reveal his sexuality, seeking acceptance, he cooks his father favorite fish curry.

Our take

Abhishek Verma uses the cooking of a delicate dish as an exquisite metaphor for a sensitive subject in this captivating short. The hand-drawn animation and subdued colour palette create a unique texture that lends beautiful depth to the emotional conundrums of the central character.
