Logline
Contemporary love story- A couple with cold feet, cool jobs, chill pills, frozen foods and frequent freeze outs. What happens when it reaches the boiling point?
Synopsis
Its has been two years since she has gone. Nadir Mustafa, Sara’s husband came home defeated after searching from Yangon to Chindwin extensively. Everyone believes Sara is dead, but he refuses to accept so. He had no clues whatsoever until he closely examined the fridge and the microwave.
Nadir wanted a lot in life. The overstocked frozen food in his refrigerator made him realize just how prepared they were for a disaster and how distant their times together had become.
The yearning for constant stability and love drove Sara away. She had gone – willingly, into the journey to find herself again. He discovered that love is a constant work in progress, that it needs more than mere physical presence.
Director’s Intention
This film is captured in essence between the hustle bustles of modern day life, where everyone is in a hurry to be somewhere, with no real idea as to where they want to go.
While everything seems organized on the outside, there is a constant feeling of chaos; depicting how the temporary ego inflation leads to permanent depression.
The friction between a fridge and a microwave is an accumulation of all relationships that i have observed around me.
I want to make films that address the smaller, more intimate, issues that surround our daily lives and are global phenomena. I truly believe that family relationships and love require constant nourishing and care
