"My Fault" is a heartfelt drama that explores themes of love, loss, and guilt, following the emotional journey of a young woman as she grapples with the consequences of a tragic mistake.
The film centers around Maya, a successful yet emotionally troubled artist who has been struggling with feelings of guilt after an accident that resulted in the death of her younger brother, Aryan. The incident has left Maya emotionally scarred, and she carries the weight of responsibility for what happened, believing she could have done something to prevent it.
The story begins with Maya's attempt to move on from the past by focusing on her art, but her guilt continues to haunt her. She isolates herself from her family, including her mother, Sangeeta, who is also grappling with the loss of her son, but in a different way. Sangeeta and Maya’s relationship has become strained, and they avoid talking about the accident, each consumed by their own pain.
Maya finds solace in the company of Raghav, a compassionate friend and fellow artist who encourages her to confront her feelings and seek closure. Raghav helps Maya reconnect with the things she loves, like painting and connecting with her emotions. As Maya begins to slowly heal, she decides to return to the place where the accident occurred—hoping it might bring her the answers she seeks.
In a pivotal moment of introspection, Maya realizes that while she can't undo the past, she must forgive herself in order to move forward. Her journey of self-forgiveness is paralleled by her attempts to rebuild the fractured relationships with her family, especially her mother, who finally opens up about her grief and guilt as well.
The film concludes with Maya finding peace and acceptance, not by forgetting the past but by learning to live with it, understanding that healing comes from within. Through the support of loved ones and her own emotional strength, Maya starts to embrace life once again.
