Marionettes - and the virtue of a lotus flower

Prajdnik Awasthi

Marionettes (and the virtue of a lotus flower) is a 2D animated short film about a mother and daughter, trapped in a cyclic world of suffering and supplicating for liberation from an unfortunate tradition. It portrays the dominant narrative of women ('marionettes')  in a patriarchal society, as the mother questions their existence to the god.

Stuck wthin this cycle, the fate of the marionettes is sealed..

This project haas been developed with support from the ACT Government and Screen Canberra.
