Experiencing Interruptions?

The Vacation

It is winter’s early morning and a lady, in her 60’s, looking for a taxi at roadside. She seems to be restless and looking at her watch again & again. As she is busy looking for taxi, we see a man, almost of same age coming towards her holding a trolley, comes and stands near her. He looks at her for a bit and then greets her. Without giving much attention, she greets back and then again shifts her attention to other side to find a taxi. The man, still interested in talks, asks some other questions and somehow engages her. As talks happened, they came to know that some way they know each other. But lady was still a bit nervous to find a taxi and just then, a cab, already booked by man, came there. Man invites her for the ride as she was not going to reach the station on time if she waits there. She refused at start but looking at the situation, she boards it after he requests. They leave and then some more discussions happened inside cab just to reveal emotional side of theirs.

He is always interested in storytelling and so have plans for more short films and eventually some feature film as he is working on those concepts. As he says, making “The Vacation” can be counted his film schooling study as he believes that making and desiring some good content requires your full attention and dedication apart from creative push and this is the first short film which gave him all of these.
