Synopsis

‘Why did God make me so ugly? Am I not your daughter? Was I exchanged at the hospital? Or did you leave me in the sun one day and that’s why I became so dark?’ Meera, one of three siblings, has been struggling with her identity since childhood. She is subjected to mean, insensitive remarks by neighbours, relatives, and random people around her due to the lack of pleasing physical attributes. Constant comparison with her fair, blue-eyed sister further deteriorates her relationship with friends, family, and most importantly, herself. Will Meera be able to find her footing in this hypocritical world that preaches “looks don’t matter” while constantly objectifying and running towards beautification? Will she be able to accept herself for who she is and overcome the hatred she has for herself?
