  • Caution with children up to 12 years of age

A stunning, tender drama about the lives of three young nurses in Mumbai. A poetic journey in which the hectic city of Mumbai is transformed into a contemporary urban symphony. 

Against a background of the fierce evening rains of Mumbai, a slow friendship and tenderness develops between three nurses. They navigate loss, longing, and financial struggles in the ever-modernizing metropolis. A stunning, poetic film that gently, almost hypnotically, draws you into a story about identity and connection. 

A beautiful, lyrical, and subtle film about the lives of three women in Mumbai, where their thoughts, feelings, and dreams merge with the night time images of the city. Despite cultural contrasts and age differences, there is a warm and deep bond between the women. They support each other against the strict, intolerant religious conventions and social barriers.
