Button
“Button (टाख)” is a Nepali short film that explores the quiet emotional weight carried by ordinary people and the small, symbolic objects that hold their memories together. Built around a minimalist narrative, the film uses the metaphor of a button — something tiny, easily overlooked — to reflect themes of attachment, loss, and the fragile threads that bind relationships.The storytelling is intimate and observational, relying on natural performances, restrained dialogue, and visual cues rather than overt exposition. Its strength lies in how it captures everyday Nepali life with honesty, allowing viewers to feel the emotional shift through gestures, silence, and atmosphere.
