Commercial Break - Do We Spend Enough Time With Out Children?

Commercial Break is a heart rending short film which subtly explores the intensity of parent-child relationship. The film opens with a neglected 12-year old child hankering his parents, a busy young couple, for approval. A random chore like filling up a questionnaire sent by their son's class teacher forces his parents to introspect about their bond with him. Do they take an avid interest in their son's life, academic progression and his development as a human being? It makes the child recollect the umpteenth times he had been ignored and his requests have taken a back seat. This film questions the feeling of alienation felt by young kids within contemporary urban nuclear families. Doesn't a child need to feel loved and cherished during his growing-up years? Or should he feel ignored and neglected so that he can find his own way in this world.
