IMDb

Nurse Prabha works in a busy hospital in Mumbai, alongside her flatmate Anu. The story begins in earnest when Prabha receives a present in the mail. It is a high-tech rice cooker that appears to come from Germany, where her husband works and lives. Anu, meanwhile, lets it all hang out; rebelling against her parents, who bombard her with cheesy images of potential husbands from a Hindi dating app, unaware that she is secretly dating a Muslim. Prabha and Anu help hospital cook Parvaty move back to her family’s remote village. The calmness of this seaside spot gives Prabha some space to think about the direction her life is taking.

"The friendship between these three women is a complex one. Each of them have their flaws and are not always perfect. I was interested in looking at friendship, a relationship that really has no definition. As one grows older, our friends become a stronger support system to us, sometimes even more than our families. I feel this to be true when one lives away from home especially. This was a relationship I wanted to explore in the film." (Payal Kapadia)
