A short one-minute film by a college\u00a0student from Irinjalakuda in Kerala, India, has managed to capture the attention of several people online for its realistic and moving portrayal of the life of a woman.<\/p>\n
Adithya Patel, the 19-year-old cinematographer, editor and director of the movie Centrifugal is earning a lot of appreciation for his debut project, the concept of which was given by his mother\u00a0Hena Chandran.<\/p>\n
The film’s opening scene shows\u00a0the toes of two feet tied together, depicting a woman who has just died. Throughout the movie, only the lower legs of the characters are visible.<\/p>\n
“When we thought of shooting a woman’s life from the moment of birth, we knew the face was not important. It could be the story of any woman,” says Hena.<\/p>\n
The hard-hitting film shows that right from the time she is able to walk, each step of a woman is watched, monitored and restricted by her family – be it her father, husband or even her son. Every step she takes has to be with the concurrence of society.<\/p>\n
The movie, however, ends on a positive note. A\u00a0girl in yellow capris can be seen hurriedly climbing a fence and then a tree. A woman’s voice can be heard in the background: “She’s climbed the tree again,” she says, laughing.<\/p>\n
“Let her climb,” says a man.<\/p>\n
