The law seems to be very interested in widows and lesbians. Both
are hanging on to the edges of society, begging to be recognised.
It's the end of a millennium. India has made tremendous progress in
science and technology, but in these times of economic boom can a
friendship between two women give them the power to defy society,
and law, to reach for their dreams? Dipali, a young bride, is
determined to make her marriage a success story. But her plans are
cut short when her husband is killed by a bomb blast in Mumbai.
Forced into a life of widowhood, her brother expects her to
sacrifice her own independence for the sake of caring for her
elderly mother but Dipali has other ideas. Moushumi, a school
teacher, discovers that her attraction to women is not just a girl
crush. As her parents discuss potential husbands, Moushumi escapes
to her high-flying lover. But how long can she keep being a lesbian
secret beyond the safe walls of glamorous art crowd parties? In the
midst of communal riots and gay rights movements, India too has to
make her own decisions about which traditions she must keep, and
which she ought to let go. At the end of it all, who can decide
what is the normal state of mind?
