India, United Kingdom, Sweden 2024 Fiction cor 110 min.

A newly arranged marriage. An oddball couple shoved together in a small Mumbai shack with paper-thin walls. They are awkward and alone-together. Unpredictable Uma does her best to cope with the heat, her total lack of domestic skills, nosy neighbours and her bumbling spouse until the nocturnal world of Bombay and its inhabitants lead her to face her own strange behaviors.

Presented in the Directors’ Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival.
