Poster - ALL WE IMAGINE AS LIGHT

In Mumbai, Nurse Prabha’s routine is troubled when she receives an unexpected gift from her estranged husband. Her younger roommate, Anu, tries in vain to find a spot in the city to be intimate with her boyfriend. Parvati, the cook at the hospital, is Prabha’s friend and confidant. The three women take an unexpected trip to a beach town in Ratnagiri that allows them the space to reflect upon their life choices.
