Haewaan (Monster) (2020)

In India, during the Coivd-19 pandemic lockdown, a poor farmer couple is grappling with the disappearance of their daughter, when they get word of her location at a nearby Industrial area. Together, the mother and father travel to that nearby Industrial area to retrieve her, only to be confronted with an influential industrialist Hari Singh, at the doorstep with a gun. In the high-stakes pressure of the encounter, revelations surface, fracturing the reality between them all and changing lives forever. Writer-director Nabeel Firoz's short crime - drama "Haewaan" is a powerful, incisive snapshot of the moment that a family's understanding ruptures and explodes -- and the pernicious, poisonous secrets underneath the appearance of care and concern.
