The lives of three women intersect and overlap in a haunting drama that sees the city of Mumbai play a central role.
Prabha, Anu and Parvaty are employees at a hospital in Mumbai. They grapple daily with the opportunities and hardships of existence in the city.
Balancing an immersive verité style with a touch of the surreal, Payal Kapadia’s Cannes Grand Prix-winning drama captures the many shades of working-class life in Mumbai. The result is a profound and deeply humanist meditation on urban migration and dislocation.
Presented as part of the 68th BFI London Film Festival in partnership with American Express.
