Wish I Could Tell You
Can you find yourself after you have lost
that special someone?
A disillusioned and heartbroken Anusha
finds herself in the small world of WeDonate.
com. Struggling to cope with her feelings
and the job of raising money for charity, she
reluctantly searches for a worthwhile cause
to support. For Ananth, who has been on
the opposite side, no life is less worthy, no
cause too small to support. Behind them
are teams for whom going to extraordinary
lengths to save lives is more than a full-time
occupation. In front of them is the virtual
world of social media –watching, interacting,
judging, making choices, and sometimes,
saving lives. From the virtual to the real,
their lives and that of their families, entangle
in a way that moving together is the only
solution. They can’t escape each other.
In this world of complicated relationships,
should love be such a difficult ride?
