That Day I Did Not Brush* is a portrait of grief seen through innocent eyes. With warmth and subtlety, the film explores how a young boy processes absence through small moments, quiet observations, and the gentle disruption of his everyday routine.
A tender and intimate reflection on loss, the film reminds us that even the simplest rituals can carry the deepest meaning.
Through minimal storytelling and visual restraint, the film invites viewers to pause and notice what usually slips past us — hesitation, silence, and the fragile inner shifts that define our emotional lives.

The sound design is handled by *Raghav Ramesh* , whose work in acclaimed films like Kottukaali, Meiyazhagan, and Gargi has been widely noted. The film’s visual language is shaped by cinematographer *VS Prabanchan,* who was part of the DOP team for the Sivakarthikeyan-starrer Maaveeran directed by Madonne Ashwin, and has also lensed several independent short films including Kettal Kidaikkum and Spaces. Together, the team works in quiet cohesion to preserve the film’s authenticity and emotional subtlety.
