A supposedly pregnant and unmarried Kamla shocks the neighborhood when she jumps to her death one day. Her friends Geeta and Charu spend the night wondering if they might one day find themselves in a similar situation. At the same time, their parents recall the follies and misdeeds of their youths.
A master chronicler of everyday life, Basu Chatterjee mirrors the maze-like setting of a chawl residence with a complex web of secrets and lies. Featuring an early-career appearance from Irrfan Khan, this nuanced and progressive drama exposes the gendered taboos around sex and love in urban India.
