At a boarding school in the Himalayas, 16-year-old Mira is the poster child of seriousness as Head Prefect, but the arrival of a boy shakes her strict and sheltered world. Experiencing a rebellious, romantic awakening, the teen navigates her turbulent feelings and intimate desires while tension builds with her watchful mother, who struggles with her own arrested emotions. Making a splash at the Sundance Film Festival, Shuchi Talati's daring yet delicate coming-of-age feature pushes back against dominative narratives of Indian cinema to sensitively explore girlhood, mother-daughter relationships, and female sexuality from a female perspective.
