Detailed Description

Happiness is a subjective experience, and the idea of this film is not to decide which is better. Rather, so that the viewer can take a pause to see how life goes on in both these contexts and draw their own inferences. People living across different contexts, ranging from cities to villages, have their own experiences of daily life. Sometimes the context greatly affects the experience of life. This film tries to explore how people lead their lives in these varied contexts and how it affects them on a psychological level. It is difficult to write a script for a documentary film because it is uncertain what will come in the way when one starts the shoot. However, having a framework was important. So penning down the abstract idea followed by what I would want the viewers to see and feel was put on paper. I was not very rigid about following exactly what was written, but I followed my instincts to capture the essence of the idea that I was trying to portray.
