Fiction Student Project, Film and Video Communication Design, NID, Ahmedabad"They flit from furnished room to furnished room-transients forever. Transients in abode, transients in heart and mind."
Inspired from O Henry’s short story The Furnished Room, the film explores the theme of continuous, relentless passage of time. A young man, lands in the middle of an unknown city. Is he looking for something? Or is he Lost? One by one as the characters of a cryptograph start revealing themselves, the little signs left by the furnished room’s procession of guests feel like clues for his search. The film is full of shifting points of view. Divided into three screens, the story slips in and out of the broken frames and creates for the viewer a visual experience.
