Based in Delhi, the story of this film revolves around 26-year-old Pratyush, a Social Media influencer, with a fanbase fast approaching ten million followers. Crossing this threshold will put him into the big leagues. But all his plans are put in jeopardy overnight when an obsessive fan gets hold of his all-important phone. It is then Pratyush truly realises how helpless he can be without it. The story essentially becomes a thriller with Pratyush trapped in his flat and unable to contact anyone, as he desperately tries to figure out what this obsessed fan really wants. Little does he know it’s not just his career that is at stake, it is his life.

CONCEPT
The programme of the school day consists of a film in the original language with English subtitles, a lecture by expert speakers or filmmakers and an open question and answer session. In recent years, the focus has been on varied and relevant topics such as human rights, child labour, democracy or educational opportunities. Not only speakers from universities and aid organisations, but also the directors of the films were available for questions and suggestions.
The open exchange among each other is not only interesting for young and old, but above all important!
