It is a special day for Ajju: he is celebrating his father's 90th birthday. However, the latter is suffering from dementia. He is continually losing his bearings, and has problems recognising his own son. While his party is ongoing, the father embarks on a solitary quest to find his teeth, presumably lost somewhere in the hotel where the celebration is taking place. For him, the hotel is a strangely familiar non-place, completely void of memories, which he wanders through in a disconcerting hallucinatory quest for his missing prosthesis. Dentures is an unusual short film which enjoys gently confusing viewers and thwarting their expectations. Guided by the demented wanderings of a disoriented father, the film works a discontinuous and ingenious temporality that ends up in an explosive narrative chaos. Dentures is a quirky, experimental and intimate object, whose narrative is continually challenged by the memory losses of its protagonist.

Battisi (Dentures)

Ajju's father is turning 90, but his memory is fading and he's lost his dentures. We follow his quest to find them.

A lonely cat in an apartment, watching a pair of doves, learns that there is more in life, called love.

Ullarivu is about a young girl's transformative journey from a carefree child of the earth into a&nbsp;cautious young girl in the world, as she pieces together the hidden meanings and unfair rules of the&nbsp; patriarchal world. Her love for nature and exploration comes to a standstill when she is forced to&nbsp; understand that her access to the world itself is limited due to her gender. Even though she is&nbsp; brought up in a loving, protective family, helmed by her father, the family dynamics are deeply&nbsp; rooted in patriarchal rules and values. In a world that assigns pink for girls and blue for boys at birth&nbsp; itself, it's only a matter of time until the rules of subjugation are inflicted upon even the most&nbsp; hungry, wild souls.&nbsp;

Ullarivu (The Awakening)

A young girl in Kerala unwittingly learns the rules of existence in a patriarchal world.
