Raspberry Pudding is a tender, slice-of-life short film that captures the subtle rhythms of modern love—the kind shown not through grand declarations, but through everyday gestures that say everything.
Set over the course of a single morning, the story follows Kavya and Mayank, a young couple navigating the small storms and quiet comforts of shared life. As Kavya tackles a stressful day of work, hormonal shifts, and household distractions, a simple act of kindness from Mayank—a heartfelt note, a package, and a homemade dessert—becomes the anchor she didn’t know she needed.
With soft pacing and emotional precision, Raspberry Pudding reveals how real intimacy isn’t loud—it’s thoughtful. The film gently celebrates the beauty of knowing someone well enough to care in the right way, at the right time, without needing to be asked.
Through quiet cinematography, tactile details, and authentic performances, the film evokes the warmth of being seen and supported. In every note, every glance, and every forgotten errand rescued—*Raspberry Pudding* becomes a soft reminder that love lives in life’s tiniest corners.
More than a film, it’s a pause. A moment to reflect on how often care shows up not in the spotlight—but in the shadows of the mundane. And how, sometimes, a chilled dessert and a kind message are all it takes to turn a day around.
“Love isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it’s just raspberry pudding in the fridge.”
A Taste of Love in the Everyday
A quiet, observational short film about love that simmers beneath the surface—found in gestures, not grand declarations.
Raspberry Pudding is a tender slice-of-life story that captures a single, seemingly ordinary morning in the life of a modern Indian couple. But within that routine unfolds something profound: an unspoken bond, a silent understanding, and the smallest acts that carry the deepest meaning.
“Sometimes, the loudest love is felt in the quietest ways.”
Kavya, a dedicated architect, wakes up already weighed down—by discomfort, deadlines, and a missing necessity. Her partner Mayank, an IT professional, has already left for work. But he’s still there—in the gentle clues of his care: breakfast left out, a sticky note near the mirror, a scheduled delivery. His absence speaks volumes. And as Kavya navigates the pressures of her day, these invisible touchpoints slowly anchor her.
The film uses subtle visual cues to mirror emotional states: the hiss of the kettle, fogged bathroom mirrors, the muted light filtering into the kitchen. Each frame is quiet but intentional, echoing how love lives not in what is said, but in what is noticed and remembered.
