Aftertaste

Aftertaste, is an anthology of three short films, interpreting the essence of Bitter, Sweet and Bitter-sweet.

Kattan (without milk and sugar) explores the relationship between a mother and her son, and the bitterness in it, unfolding through a conversation over a cup of coffee.

Kutti Kaigal (little hands) revolves around the joy a kid experiences, through small acts of kindness and innocence, shown by his friends on his birthday.

Amaram (sail) is about two close friends experiencing a bittersweet moment, when one gets a promotion and the other gets fired, from the office they have been working together in.

Aftertaste is a film made by a group of communication design students, exploring film production for the first time during an academic project at D J Academy of Design, Coimbatore, India. The production happened within the limitations and challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
