Synopse

A wild film about an arranged marriage in Mumbai and the uncanny revolt against the patriarchal order. An unlikely couple sits crammed together in a tiny hut with wafer-thin walls, but the distance between them could not be greater. While her clumsy husband flees from the oppressive togetherness in the direction of work, his wife Uma develops increasingly bizarre behaviour. Her impulses, which become uncontrollable, first amaze the neighbours, then horrify, while the protagonist beats herself into the night to the sounds of the rousing eclectic soundtrack.
