Taken for Granted

Well thought through, provoking and open ended. It's what cinema used to be. Acting, camera, sound effects, and a feeling you take with you when the movie is over. Short and sweet in its most refined form. A serious topic that leaves you with hope rather than despair. The director took her sweet time in her directorical debut. After working on big budget movies in her career, Manasi takes on her biggest challenge yet. A thought provoking film, with zero budget. Set in the Middle East aka someone's warehouse or garage, the movie will leave you wanting more, but accepting what is given. Hopeful, sweet and serious.
