Detailed Description

In 2013, my mother was hospitalized for a brain stroke. She got better and was discharged from hospital after five days but our lives changed forever thereafter. Her unstable mental condition made me aware about psychological problems faced by senior citizens. This one incident moved my heart but I also realized that there are many others like her facing similar challenges but are probably unaware of the state of their mental health, their problem is severe and it is necessary to communicate through a powerful medium like an animation film. Though the story of my film is inspired by my mother, it has relevance for society in general. The story focuses on the necessity of a dignified life for senior citizens. This document records my journey into finding a story and going through the development process into realizing the dream of creating a film.
