Synopsis

Award-winning filmmaker Payal KAPADIA received a standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival for her stunning drama feature debut, a slice-of-life drama about three women in Mumbai. The story unfurls as we follow the day-to-day lives of the women, who toil through their jobs while juggling their love lives with their assigned roles in India's staunch patriarchy. Instead of a feminist polemic, KAPADIA weaves a cinematic tapestry, using image and movement to depict the women and their emotions with lyrical grace. Through these universal stories and emotions, KAPADIA subtly and powerfully shines a light on the inequities of modern Indian society.
