Synopsis

Nabaneeta Dev Sen creates a series of individual women and their stories uncovering the lives lived and left behind. The last phase becomes the entry point for an artistic meditation on the inherent fragility of women's lives.

The novella examines the closed world of the relationships of women within their homes with all its bitterness, anger, intolerance and marvellously brings out its inevitable unfolding of power at different stages of a woman's lifespan. Here we see the tension between different generations of women as a clash of their dependence, both economic and emotional, on men.
