Nurses Prabha and Anu share an apartment in Mumbai. Prabha’s husband moved abroad years previously and no longer contacts her. Despite that, she remains loyal to him and rejects the romantic advances of a friendly doctor working in her hospital. Outgoing Anu, meanwhile, is in a passionate relationship with Shiaz – a relationship she keeps secret as it’s socially taboo for her to date a Muslim. When Prabha and Anu travel to a coastal village to help a friend relocate, their experiences there spark moments of discovery and revelation.

Payal Kapadia’s remarkable fiction debut is a poetic portrait of two women’s lives in contemporary India. This is a film that overflows with empathy and respect for its characters.
