The teaser of Vaanmagal, a segment in Netflix’s upcoming anthology film Paava Kadhaigal, was released on Tuesday.
Vaanmagal is directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon, who has also played the lead role in the family drama. The short film follows the mental trauma of a family after their daughter is brutally assaulted. Judging by the teaser, it seems like the parents find it difficult to make peace with reality and struggle to support their daughter. The short seems to examine the culture of victim blaming and society’s role in making life more difficult for victims of sexual crimes.
