It's about the distances people travel to make ends meet, the difficulty of calling anywhere your home, and the way a populous city can feel like the loneliest place in the world. It's about how Mumbai looks and feels during the monsoon season, when the rain turns the city into a warm, shimmery blur.

Crucially, too, it's about solidarity between women, as they extend to each other the empathy and understanding that society denies them. At a key turning point, Prabha and Anu support an older hospital colleague, Parvati, who's being forced out of her long-time apartment by greedy developers. Gender inequality is at least partly to blame.

Parvati was widowed not long ago, and any property rights she has seem to have died along with her husband. Parvati decides to move back to her coastal home village, and Prabha and Anu come along to help. The effect on all we imagine as light is startling.

It's enough to make Prabha and Anu wonder, do they belong in the rural villages where they grew up, or in the city that has adopted them?

Instead, her filmmaking becomes ever more sensual, harrowing, and dreamlike, as it ushers these women to a beautiful moment of recognition— of how much they care for and need each other. Society has placed no shortage of obstacles in their way, but friendship in this wonderful movie can be its own powerful act of resistance.
