Synopsis:
SWATI RANADE-KARNIK (40) has built a respectable life in Mumbai, but everything is unravelling. Her predatory boss exploits her financial condition while her husband drowns in debt. When Swati comes to know her ailing mother HEMALATA RANADE is not long for this world, Swati returns to a house that once was home. Her childhood home in Pune with her scorned younger sister SARIKA (35), who has cared for their difficult mother alone, for the last three years. The sisters' reunion is brutal, filled with accusations of abandonment. Clashes over trivial matters whilst deeper wounds fester with their mother announcing her wish to spend her last days in hospice, away and alone. Fighting with guilt, rage, and helplessness, the three find their peace, until a fateful night when Swati discovers her old wedding video. The film explores how families survive through silence, sacrifice, and secrets that both save and destroy them.
