Suicide. Not exactly the easiest of issues to tackle, especially in the span of only 22 minutes. In telling the story of one man's journey towards absolution, director, Saqib Mausoof, does more than just touch upon the moral dilemma of somebody taking his own life, he absorbs you in the all-encompassing philosophical questions that accompany such a serious issue.
Morgan (Cole Panther) is a down and out professional seeking a way out of his existentialist trauma, when he runs into his old business partner who betrayed him, Alex (Akbar Kurtha). Now the stage is set for mutually assured absolution, and the decisions that both Alex and Morgan make in the final moments of this harrowing dramatic thriller will have profound consequences.
Creating multilayered interpretations in a relatively straight forward narrative, as well as developing well-rounded characters, I'm sure, is not an easy thing to do. Add in the fact that the entire experience is over in less than 30 minutes, and Mr. Mausoof, you have an accomplishment to be very proud of. Hopefully, this film garners the exposure amongst the film festival circuit in the coming year that it so rightfully deserves
