Silent Cycle is a poignant coming-of-age short film that explores the silence surrounding menstruation in Indian households. Set during the sacred Navratri festival, the story follows Vrinda, a curious and spirited young girl who experiences her first period in the middle of a religious ceremony. Unaware of what is happening to her body, Vrinda finds herself shamed and ostracized by her conservative grandmother, Lata, who views the incident as a spiritual transgression. As tension rises within the household, the film delicately unravels the emotional toll of generational expectations and the lack of open dialogue around menstrual health. Silent Cycle is a powerful and intimate exploration of bodily shame, cultural taboos, and a girl’s quiet rebellion against centuries of silence.
