KOCHI: When we talk about parents, it’s mostly the mothers who hold a special place in the hearts of most kids.Remesh Kumar, a techie working in a company in Technopark, decided to do something to showcase the bond and feelings of fathers. Remesh who has made his directorial debut through short film Learners tells the tale of a lonely man whose hard work goes unnoticed by his son.
The short film revolves around his unconditional love for his son, something the son does not reciprocate. The man lives a life of loneliness, whereas the son has his own life, revolving around his work and his friends.
One day, the man rides his son’s new car, but due to the reckless driving by another group, rams the car into a tree. The son abuses him. But in the end, the man saves his son’s life when he suffers a head injury. The film is beautifully shot in city locales.
The 19-minute short film is a dream come true for Remesh who brought out the film with other techies who are equally passionate about film making. “I thought of choosing the subject of the relationship between a man and his son as there are times when a techie doesn’t have time for their parents owing to their busy lives,” he said.
Music was composed by Prince T Rex, DOP by Visakh Rohith. The film enthusiast financed the film himself. He says, “I got a lot of positive reviews for the film although it was shot in a limited time.” Remesh is planning to work on a full-length feature.
