Plot

Glazed" is a visually engaging and thought-provoking short film that explores the fine balance between desire and awareness. Glazed encourages viewers to reflect on the choices that influence their well-being.

In Glazed, a diverse group of individuals struggling with addiction comes together for an unconventional therapy session. Under the guidance of their mentor, they are thrust into a high-stakes confrontation with their cravings. The setting-a room filled with an overwhelming source of temptation-becomes both a literal and symbolic battleground for their struggle. As each participant wrestles with their personal demons, the session escalates into a chaotic, intense showdown. Donning noise-canceling headphones and protective gear, they engage in a stylized assault against their desires, turning their inner turmoil into an action-like spectacle. This visceral confrontation forces them to acknowledge that the true challenge isn't the external temptation, but the deeper emotional and psychological forces driving their dependence. By the end of the session, emotionally drained yet transformed, they emerge with a newfound understanding of their battle. Their mentor reminds them that while they have faced their demons today, the journey to recovery is far from over.—Rahul Pawar
