Umbro, the threshold of a home, is the liminal space that speaks to the lives of women, including the filmmaker’s mother and her friends who live in a small town in Gujarat. The film explores joyful friendships among women, often dismissed and unsung – carrying in them moments of shared stories, solidarities, conflicts and most of all, routine acts of resistance.
