Write a short summary of what happens in the film

A man standing in the aisle of a bus tries to peep down a young woman's blouse. She isn't aware of this. But a young man sitting next to her realises what's going on. He pulls down his own shirt and offers his hairy chest to the other guy to look at. The ogler feels ashamed at having been caught and moves away. All this happens without the girl getting to know anything. Super: 'Not all protests are loud.' The film demonstrates that an engaging story can be told in just 10 seconds, and ends on a slate: 'Short stories move hearts'.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

'Eve teasing' is a problem often faced by women traveling on public transport in India. They may find some strange man staring at them, even though they are modestly dressed. The ogler gets away with the behaviour because bystanders don't protest.
