Executive produced by award-winning actor Dev Patel (THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL, 2011) and starring Antonio Aakeel (SLOW HORSES, 2022) and Anula Navlekar (KILLER SOUP, 2024), set in Parramatta, Sydney. Director Raghuvir Joshi's debut feature captures the complexity of a married man's decision to confront the traditional Indian cultural values he was raised with and embrace his true sexuality.


Despite outward appearances of success and conformity to societal and cultural norms, the couple feels a void that needs to be addressed. As Vir, the husband, embarks on a journey of self-discovery, his wife Nitya grapples with her own reality and societal expectations. Together, they navigate pathways of exploration and transformation, challenging stereotypes and seeking personal fulfillment.
