The Depth: Yessma's latest erotic web series has a familiar tale and a twist that’s more hilarious than shocking

The latest short film to drop on Malayalam adult web series platform Yessma is titled The Depth, which is helmed by Lakshmi Deeptha. The series has the lead actors of their previous short films Plum Cake and is set around a swimming pool.

The 20-minute erotic short film revolves around two strangers who meet at a swimming pool and strike up a relationship. The short film also has its share of twists – some of which would be familiar to the audience of their previous content such as Room No. 222. The use of the similar twist, however, yields hilarious results this time.

Yessma had earlier teased the release of several upcoming series such as Honey Trap and Sreeragam, but it seems these have been put on hold for time being. Rumours are rife that the actors, who had been initially roped in to essay the lead roles in these featurettes too, had dropped out expressing disinterest to be part of the content produced by the makers of Yessma’s web series.

The lead actor of The Depth has apparently signed a contract for three web series to be streamed on Yessma. She has already done Plum Cake, which had released as two short films the past few weeks. The first episode of Plum Cake, which has Christmas as its backdrop, revolved around a relationship between a father and a daughter.

Aryanandha Creations backs the content of Yessma, which has till now streamed web series that have been directed by Lakshmi. The platform was launched in August 2022 as the first ever Malayalam web series platform to stream adult content. Since then, it has dropped several web series including Ladies Hostel, Nancy, Paalpayasam and Hot Stone. Ladies Hostel was also dubbed in Tamil and Hindi.

The platform had recently courted controversy for casting actors and blackmailing them to “act in obscene sequences” without their consent.
