A post apocalyptic short set in Bangladesh where human's only way of survival is mosquito net after sundown, that's a intriguing premise .
Two siblings are what left of a happy family and struggling to exist in this situation .The younger one is naive and the elder one is motherly,an evident contrast in their characters has established their chemistry.
As the night falls,poeple resort to their mosquito nets and hope for dawn to arrive,there is a voicover telling poeple that they can keep religious textbooks with them but that will not protect them if they are outside during night. It signifies the nihlism in the world they live in and what ensures safety is believing in others not in some higher power .
There may be different conclusions regarding this film,like how it mocks women safety through different dialogues here and there but the film really scores in establishing the love and bonding of the two sisters.
Owing to the budget Bangladesh has for experimental films,this is a gargantuan achievement,the lighting,music,camera work all contributes to make this film a tense watch.
But the dialogues and accent don't seem rooted at all which feels very distant and artificial.
