GOD IN LOVE | Sri Lankan Tamil Shortfilm with English subtitles
The film revolves around the narrator (hero) glorifying the female lead, who he very obviously seems to be in love with. Throughout the course of the movie, the hero is singing the praises of the heroine’s very mundane morning routine, gushing over her every move. Only in the climax is it revealed to the audience that the narrator is her pet dog who she very lovingly waves goodbye to before leaving to work.
