Concept

This short film shows a familiar childhood moment, a child avoiding his maths homework while secretly struggling with it. As he laughs and doodles, the homework comes alive with its own impatient attitude. What starts off playful slowly turns into frustration, revealing the pressure the child feels despite trying his best.

Mr. Squares

A hard-bound maths textbook. He tries to be authoritative but just wants the kid to spend time with him.

Kabir

Kabir is curious, restless, and easily distracted. He tries to avoid his homework as much as he can.
