Simmons, best-known for her photographs of miniature rooms populated by dolls and of oversized objects—such as a house, birthday cake, and pistol—balanced on female legs, both human and fake, brings these characters to life in a three-act mini-musical. The film is inspired by three distinct periods of Simmons’s photographic work: vintage hand puppets, ventriloquist dummies and walking objects enact tales of ambition, disappointment, love, loss, and regret. Working with composer Michael Rohaytn ("Personal Velocity") and cameraman Ed Lachman ("The Virgin Suicides" and "Far From Heaven"), Simmons’s puppets come to life in miniature domestic scenes that echo real life.

GHOOR

May 2025 •Hindi

film about the situation of that Girls who face evil eyes daily on way. “Not every battle is fought with weapons; some are fought with eyes… and silence.” This film is a raw, unflinching portrayal of the everyday battles women face in a society where their existence is constantly scanned, judged, and violated by predatory stares. From streets to buses, offices to parks — no place feels truly safe. It’s a story of unseen wounds, silent fears, and a world where public spaces still belong to the audacity of shameless eyes. But in the darkness of this cruelty… rise a few hands. Hands that shield, voices that speak, and gazes that stand as a wall of dignity. This isn’t just a film — it’s a voice for those countless unspoken stories buried in the hearts of women. A message that must be seen, heard, and felt.
