The Netflix anthology on love though is a far cry from the mainstream boy-meets-girl romantic dramas. In her short film, director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari weaves in loneliness and the need for companionship as she tells the story of a salesman — essayed by Banerjee — who finds an unusual companion in a mannequin. To the actor, working with Tiwari has been an “unforgettable” experience. “I hope to work with her again because she lives in a beautiful world [created by her imagination]. Her creative energy reflects in the films she makes. The minute she started directing me and telling me how she [visualises] the story, it was clear that I needed to see her world through her eyes.”
