“This is a glorious film – 5 Stars.” (The Guardian)
A landmark film, being the first Indian film in competition at Cannes in 30 years, with director Payal Kapadia also the first Indian female filmmaker in the running. Kapadia's success was sealed with a Grand Prix win at Cannes, another first for Indian cinema.
Anu and Prabha, two nurses from Mumbai, are navigating the frustrations of their romantic lives. Prabha's long-distant husband in Germany reaches out after a year of silence, while Anu faces the challenge of finding privacy with her boyfriend. They escape the city's chaos for a serene seaside town. Far from the demands of city life, the women find a space where their desires and emotions surface in ways they hadn’t anticipated.
Kapadia beautifully captures the contrast between Mumbai’s frenetic energy and the tranquil rhythms of the coastal town, bringing both environments to life with vivid detail. After winning Cannes’ Golden Eye for Best Documentary in 2021 for A Night of Knowing Nothing, Kapadia continues to establish herself as a powerful new voice in global cinema.
