Reflections - the movie

In a mass produced world, how far would one go for love

The movie is set in a fantasy world where people are all colored and are wearing colored clothes. Anand Pai, the protagonist is a defective piece according to that world as he dresses in grey. His desperation drives him to buy a robot girl for himself (one of the mass produced iWifes). His initial interaction with her makes him feel that she will reject him too. The movie is about Anand's need to confirm - and robot's instincts to adapt.

Today ..

..in the mall a batch of puppets came. They all looked colorful and one particularly one wore grey suit. It had a puppet girl in red dress as his partner. The puppet girl looked beautiful.
But they said the pair looked abnormal. They said that the grey puppet was a defective piece. They said that they stopped manufacturing a partner for the grey puppet. They put it for 50 % discount along with a pepper bottle whose salt bottle was missing. They said i won't understand.

Because I wear grey suit?
