SYNOPSIS: For Wendy, being a blind student, every day is a struggle. Her life is further complicated when she is chased by a crazed mob of infected students intent on doing her harm. Wendy bumps into Jack, the most popular guy on campus and seems to be the only other person immune to the infection plaguing the university.
They lock themselves in Wendy’s flat. Jack, restless and paranoid believing that they are yet to get the infection removes all potentially harmful weapons from the vicinity. However he has neglected one little harmless nutcracker…
Nutcracker speaks about gender roles, bullying and young love in its own unique style, with a sense of dark humour and a touch of quirkiness.
