A hauntingly beautiful short film that captures the life of a young boy trapped in cycles of abuse, loneliness, and survival.
Set against a rural backdrop, the story unfolds through mango orchards, old postcards, and broken seeds — powerful symbols of a childhood shattered by violence yet held together by fragments of hope.
Through the boy’s eyes, we witness the harsh realities of domestic abuse, social rejection, and the yearning for freedom. Despite the world’s cruelty, he clings to small moments — a stolen mango, a dog’s companionship, a glimpse of a departing bus — symbols of dreams that refuse to die.
🎥 Themes:
Childhood trauma & resilience
Domestic abuse & social neglect
Symbolism of mangoes, escape & identity
The contrast between innocence and cruelty
✨ “Even in bitterness, he found the taste of hope.”
