Short
Film – Lapandav- hide and seek
The movie starts off
with the girl counting till 100. She is playing hide and seek with her friends
and she is the seeker. The girl is very
cheerful and happy. She starts to seek her friend down and while she does she
again becomes the seeker since she has caught the wrong person. But she is again cheerful even though she
does not want to be the seeker.
In the next seen we her
getting ready and her mother is telling her neighbor that they have a paying
guest s staying for few week with them and that this will benefit the family
since they will earn some extra money over the time. The gilr is excited about
the guest coming and staying with them that she is getting ready especially for
him. That is what I think about the shot of the girl getting ready while her
mother is talking to the neighbor.
The guest comes and he
is greeted and welcomed to their house. He settles his stuff into this room and
all. The girl all through this is admiring him. He is from Kerala and a
kathakali dancer.
The next shot we see
them all eating dinner, the mother is serving them. the man is making round
balls of the rice and dipping it in the dal and eating it, he make huge balls
of the rice. The girl looks at him and admires the way and style of the way he
is eating. She also tries his style of eating but she cannot. She is very
amused by the man who had come to stay in her house.
The next day we see
that the man is practicing his dance in his room and a boy looks through the
window and admires and laughs at what he is doing. Then looking at the boy the other
children around the area and so is the girl comes and looks at the man dance and wonder what he is up to. The boy see
him through a red color lass piece where he see everything red in color and a
different effect falls on the screen
Then while he is
resting and reading a book the children and the girl look at him from the
window and laughs at him. The man smirks at himself by seeing how the children
are looking at curiously and laughing at what he is doing. He just takes it
very cool for the way the children react looking at him; he does not tell them
anything.
There is a shot where
he is applying makeup on him and the children are surrounding him and sitting
and admiring. The look at the different material that he is using to put make
up and also the different jewelry that he is going to use. They are fascinated by the different items he
has. They put on their ears, neck and also take a crown like thing put it on
their head. While he out make up that laugh at him. They also pass on messages
to each other in whispers and laugh at him.
All through the movie
the children are very curious and admire the man that has come.
Coming to the end of the
movie we see a shot where the girl is going upstairs to give the man a box of
food which her grandmother gives her to give him. When she enters his room, she
doesn’t find him and finds his things laying on the floor. She leaves the box
on the table and sits on the floor admiring his makeup and jewelry.
She tries to put the
makeup on herself, but she cannot. She keeps looking at the jewelry when the
man enters the room. He then sits with her and puts the makeup on her face.
while he is putting make up on her she suddenly gets scared and runs out of the room. And runs and sit in another corner of the
house in a room that is dark and cries. I think cries because maybe she didn’t
like the way he was touching her putting the makeup on her and also maybe
because she is doing something wrong for which her parents may scream at her
and she would be some trouble. The story ends with her crying in the dark room.
