Radhika Apte has shared the teaser of her directorial debut, The Sleepwalkers. The 30-minute short film revolves around a married couple, played by Gulshan Devaiah and Sahana Goswami. The film has been selected for the Palm Springs International ShortFest 2020.

In the teaser, Gulshan’s character confronts his wife on her habit of sleepwalking. Even as she sounds surprised, there are shots of her walking towards a beach at night, led by a young girl. The final shot is of the husband asphyxiating his wife and saying, “I’m sorry.”

Sharing the teaser, Radhika wrote on Instagram, “I wrote and directed a small short film.
