SHORT FILM
TITLE – WAKE UP CALL
Synopsis - The story starts with a character who habitually overlooks his surroundings.
Although he wants to improve and do good, he finds it difficult to take that initial step and
often avoids confronting his challenges. As the plot develops, he experiences a significant

and addresses the unfinished tasks in his life. By the conclusion, he has transformed into a
happier, more vibrant individual, reflecting the positive changes he has made.
