Plot[edit]

Holding Back is based on a true incident involving a Mother, her Son and an important journey.  In 1999, a Mother and her Son were travelling together to a wedding.  Because of the situation surrounding their trip, the inevitable tragedy took place. The Mother, determined to spare her Son any further pain, was forced to rise up, to dig within herself for almost inhuman strength, in order to face the ensuing situation head on.[2]

Reception[edit]

Bobby Talk Cinema says "Directed by Wilson Louis, its indeed a worth praising effort inspired from an actual incident of 1999 and its really good to see the writer-director choosing this thoughtful, emotional subject moving much ahead than the usual ‘attention-seeking’ plots often seen in the world of short films. "[3] Deepak Tripathi of Tiggdigg calls Holding Back masterpiece of Indian Short Films. [4]
