Metamorphosis is a deeply personal, bittersweet memoir that peers into the psyche of a student caught in the relentless grind of competitive examinations. Through fragments of memory, confession, and quiet observation, the film unravels the inner battles waged in solitude—the sleepless nights, the weight of expectations, and the silent pain of repeated failures and small triumphs. As I chart my own journey through this unforgiving landscape, the film becomes more than just a chronicle of preparation. It is an intimate exploration of how these examinations, with all their pressures and promises, reshaped my understanding of hard work, success, and the fleeting nature of this world. Metamorphosis is not merely about reaching a goal—it is about the transformation that occurs in pursuit of one. It is about the boy who entered this race, and the person who emerged from it, forever changed.
