As she grapples with the profound loss, Shashi realizes that her entire existence has been upended overnight. Meanwhile, her daughter Tara, a fiercely independent Sanskrit scholar, finds herself entangled in a passionate relationship with an older man. This unexpected connection threatens to consume her in ways she never anticipated.Set against the backdrop of a rising wave of religious fundamentalism in India, which seeks to confine women to traditional roles, Shashi and Tara embark on a journey of self-discovery.
