"What is that"?

Two words- Two letters different, yet same meaning, same emotions. A poem of one will always be incomplete without the other. Mother-Father, together called Parents, the greatest gift to us, to humanity. The only people who stay real. People, who can go to any extent, for their beloved child, not expecting anything in return. The seven-letter word has 7 billion emotions. 

           "What is that"- a short film is enough for all these descriptions made above. Moving to the core, the movie goes by its title. A father and his son are seen sitting on a bench. A question is raised by the father upon seeing a sparrow that landed across them. The son answers the question. This question and answer session goes to a certain extent and ends suddenly when the son bursts out of anger for the same questions raised again and again. Not uttering a single word, the father gets back to his son after leaving for a few seconds. He is back with a diary which the son is supposed to go over. A particular page read almost like this-" Today my son asked me 21 times what is that upon seeing a Sparrow, all of them answered happily and patiently". Once again, not a single word uttered, the movie ends, with the sparrow seen flying just after the sequence of the son hugging his father.

                The characters in the story may be reel, but the theme is real. The director has been able to make this film simple yet elegant. The strong acting of the protagonists also has a great impact. A movie with a hidden element that makes this one inevitably, inescapably watchable. Just like a persuasive speech, a persuasive movie that persuades us to respect, love and care our unsung icons.A masterpiece amongst the world of movies.

Good work

Respect to the filmmaker.
