LIFE

Submitted By: Yogasaye RP

LIFE is a symbolic short film that explores the transformation of an ordinary boy’s monotonous routine into a world filled with passion and meaning. The story follows Vikas, a young student trapped in the dull cycle of daily life. His mornings are marked by the repetitive sound of the alarm, followed by the same actions—brushing, packing his school bag, doing homework, and going to bed. These scenes unfold in a black-and-white palette, visually representing the colorless monotony of his existence. One morning, everything changes. Instead of another ordinary day, Vikas receives a mail of acceptance to Sunshine Badminton Academy. With excitement, he sets aside his school bag and picks up his badminton kit, symbolizing his choice to follow his passion. At the academy, he meets Pragnesh and Nivedita, who welcome him into the court. As he prepares to serve the shuttle, the film shifts from monochrome to full vibrant color, a cinematic metaphor for life becoming meaningful when one pursues what they truly love. The film concludes with the quote: “Life becomes colorful when you do what you like.” Through minimal dialogue and strong visual storytelling, LIFE highlights how passion and purpose can turn a dull existence into something beautiful and vibrant.
