A transcendent picture of love and sisterhood, director Payal Kapadia’s sublime second feature follows three women hospital employees navigating city life.
Their stories - the challenges and joys of hard-working nurse Prabha, whose husband moved abroad after their arranged marriage; her roommate Anu, involved in a clandestine relationship;and widow Parvati, facing pressure to leave her home -intertwine in this soulful, melancholic film. Balancing an immersive realistic style with a touch of the surreal, it explores the unspoken layers of yearning that weave through working-class life in a glittering nocturnal Mumbai.
