Unicorn Lady
Short Film
A heartfelt graduation film by Rebecca Rechana Paul (Post Graduate Program, NID Ahmedabad), nurtured with care by Studio Eeksaurus under the visionary mentorship of Suresh Eriyat.
Based on a moving poem by Sumanto Chattopadhyay @TheEnglishNut Unicorn Lady is an animated short that tenderly portrays a cancer survivor’s journey — from the shadows of a mastectomy to the luminous embrace of self-acceptance.
Through her stitches, she sews resilience. Through her pain, she discovers poetry. The film unfolds as a metaphor for the transition from physical scars to a deeper understanding of life — a tapestry woven from threads of endurance, rebirth, and grace.
A film for every body.
A story of scars, strength and sovereignty.
