Synopsis

Based on short story by Larissa Theule, Cuddles follows the story of 30-year-old Krita as she has a chance encounter with Chirag uncle after almost 20 years in a park. She recounts the time when she was 8 years old, when she had lost her doll (Cuddles) and Uncle Chirag had offered to help her find it. Together, they searched everywhere, but it was nowhere to be found. Finally, Uncle Chirag said that he would look for it and give it to her the next day. Uncle Chirag comes back the next day, but with a letter from Cuddles saying that she had gone for a world tour and would be back soon. Each day, he would come with a different letter from Cuddles for Krita, which talked about her travel stories from the beaches of Bahamas to the pyramids of Giza and the great Grand Canyon. One day, Uncle Chirag got her a new doll, but it looked nothing like Cuddles. On inquiring, Uncle Chirag told her that Cuddles’ travels had changed her. Krita embraced the doll and took it as her own. Many years later, Krita found a note in the doll that said – everything that you love may be lost, but love will return to you in a different way.As she recounts this story to Uncle Chirag, Krita gets emotional. Uncle Chirag tells her that through this act, he was trying to teach himself something at the time. He had just lost his wife in a car accident and was trying to teach himself to move on.
