Nidhi Saxena

In a 1990s Himalayan town, teacher Barkha, whose husband serves at the border, develops feelings for enigmatic newcomer Manik amid a community of waiting women where silence and local myths prevail.

In a deeply conservative Indian village where women are forbidden from stepping outside without male permission, Bhagyashree and her growing sisterhood rise in defiance, claiming their right to work and confronting generations of patriarchal control. As their resistance gathers force, the cost of being seen as equal begins to turn dangerous. How much are they willing to risk?

Two women live in a decaying ancestral house that mirrors their emotional stagnation. Grappling with trauma, both find different ways to cope and escape from the pain, until they stumble upon something that might change their lives forever.
