This film is about a young girl who blindly sinks into an endless cycle of pursuing perfection after she undergoes a beauty test called, “The Becoming”  which determines one’s worth in the society.The main message of this film primarily focuses on the objectification of women and the endless,futile pursuit of beauty.

Paper Roof is a short film about two young sisters running away from home to build a cardboard house together. Our film highlights the intricacy of sisterly relationships and sees the world through the eyes of the children, and how they take things into their own hands when faced with family problems.
