An animation film on Gender Equality and Female Foeticide
This short film is a story about a young girl, Muskaan who accidentally happens to know that her mother is being forced to undergo a test to determine the sex of her unborn child, and the child would be aborted if it turns out to be a girl.
Muskaan takes up the challenge to change the mind of everyone in the family to save them from committing such an inhumanly act. While convincing her family member she breaks many gender biases and notions prevalent in the society that drive people to commit Female Foeticide.
