Crafted with visual poetry and emotional empathy, this Cannes Film Festival Grand Prix winner shines a light on three hospital workers as they negotiate love and life in the teeming metropolis of Mumbai. Prabha has a husband living overseas, her younger roommate, Anu, is carrying on a secret relationship with a Muslim boy, and Parvati plans to leave the big city after her husband dies. Without the support of men, these women forge bonds of mutual support. As the film moves from city to country in its second half, the women’s relationships shift and deepen, and Payal Kapadia finds the small but wondrous epiphanies in everyday lives.
