Originally hailing from Amritsar, Punjab, a young and naive Indian marital rape victim, Preet takes the advice of her childhood friend, Jugal, and moves to the city of dreams, New York City after running away from her abusive marriage. With a preconceived notion that the United States will treat her differently, Preet soon realizes that the male gaze and the trauma from her marriage still surround her. This short film aims to dive deep into the mind of Preet Kaur Sethi and magnifies every such instance that triggers Preet's anxiety, thereby shedding light onto the psychological and mental damage from domestic violence, the universal nature of patriarchy, and the deconstruction of the irrelevant male perspective on such issues. This short film also aims to act as a proof of concept for the fully scripted feature film and introduces two more characters of the feature film, Joyce, a flower store attendant and Ashleigh, a local drug dealer, both of who have an extremely important part to play in the short film.
