In a strict boarding school nestled in the Himalayas, 16-year-old Mira discovers desire and romance. But her sexual, rebellious awakening is disrupted by her mother, who never got to come of age herself. In her debut feature, Shuchi Talati creates a remarkably sensitive and empowering portrait of burgeoning female sexuality and empowerment. Preeti Panigrahi gives a star-making, dynamic performance as Mira, who discovers not only desire, but her own agency, via her passionate love affair and accompanying reassessment of her mother’s life and choices.
