In a small village near the Himalayas, 16-year-old model student Mira becomes captivated by the free-spirited transfer student, Sri. As she falls for her first love, Mira’s sexual desires and rebelliousness begin to surface. The one thing that stands in the way of Mira’s self-discovery is her mother, Anila, who has never experienced a rebellious phase in her life. The conflict between the controlling Anila and the increasingly rebellious Mira takes an unexpected turn with Sri’s involvement. Director Shuchi Talati skillfully captures the subtle changes in their emotions and relationships, creating a captivating portrayal of Mira and Anila’s coming-of-age stories. The film features standout performances from Kani Kusruti, one of the most noteworthy Asian actors of the year, and two young actors making their debut. Winner of the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival. (PARK Sun Young)
