Nidhi and her mother Meera exist in a decaying ancestral house, a physical manifestation of their stagnant lives. Nidhi’s childhood was marred by a traumatic event involving her otherwise mostly absent father, that left her perpetually melancholic. She grapples with her past by writing haunting letters to her younger self and having conversations on a phone transcending time, in which she laments the life she could have had and warns her younger self of the anguish that awaits if she doesn’t find a way to break free from the cycle of trauma. Meera harbours a longing for an unrequited love affair that never came to fruition, a wistful yearning that compounds her sense of failure as a mother witnessing Nidhi’s debilitated despair. Deeply depressed, Nidhi discovers an ancient mystical ritual that can make her vanish. As mother and daughter perform the rites, the barriers between past and present dissolve.
