Doha: On a busy construction site in Lusail, Nehjul Huda (pictured) executes his role as an electrical engineer with precision and dedication. Yet, amid the hum of machines and the scorching sun, his heart yearns for storytelling.

Originally from India, every few months, Nehjul flies back home, trading his hard hat for a camera. In his village in Kerala, he captures unfiltered tales of childhood and societal struggles, weaving them into poignant short films.

On Tuesday, May 28, Nehjul’s film ‘Ochu (The Snail)’ won the “Best Family/Children Film” award for the month of April at the World Film Festival in Cannes—a monthly and annual competition for international filmmakers.

“Ochu (The Snail) is a 14-minute film centered on 13-year-old Yaya Vijitha, a student trying to find answers to her homework. It highlights issues of caste, race, gender inequalities, and the rise of fascism, among other socio-economic concerns, from the perspective of a young girl,” Nehjul told The Peninsula.
