Kiss & LailaA Manju

KISS
Dir: Varun Grover
17 min / India / Hindi

At a preview theatre, a young filmmaker waits in the hope of getting his new sci–fi drama certified. As they argue over the length of a kissing scene in the film, the laws of physics disintegrate around them.

On a slow, hot day during Mumbai’s first COVID–19 lockdown, 21–year–old Manju sets out to apologize to her best friend and the love of her life, Lailaa. She has to re–affirm their love—and avoid a conversation with her formidable mother, who’s discovered the truth about the two young women, at all costs.
