Set against the backdrop of modern-day India, the film explores how individuals grapple with their inner turmoil, societal expectations, and the weight of familial obligations.

The story revolves around Meera, a young woman who has spent her entire life living up to the expectations of her conservative family.

She is constantly torn between her desire for personal freedom and the pressure to uphold her family’s honor and traditions.
