Sad Letters of an Imaginary Woman

Nidhi (43) and her mother Meera (70) exist in a decaying ancestral house, a physical manifestation of their stagnant lives. Nidhi's childhood was marred by a traumatic event involving her otherwise mostly absent father, that left her emotionally traumatized and perpetually melancholic. She grapples with her past by writing haunting letters to her younger self and having conversations on phone transcending time, in which she laments the life she could have had and warns her younger self of the anguish that awaits if she doesn't find a way to break free from the cycle of trauma.

Meera harbors unfulfilled longing for an unrequited love affair that never came to fruition, a wistful yearning that compounds her sense of failure as a mother witnessing Nidhi's debilitated despair.

Incorrigibly depressed, Nidhi discovers an ancient mystical ritual which can make her vanish. As mother and daughter perform the rites, the barriers between past and present dissolve. Memories bleed into the present, echoing their anguished cries long suppressed by society's expectations.
On one transcendent night, enveloped in darkness, they disappear - two flightless birds finally freed from their corporeal and emotional prisons. An experimental meditation on the complex struggles women endure.

This deeply personal film explores the immense burdens and limited self- expression faced by women, especially in Asian and Indian societies. The decaying house metaphorically represents their emotional state, with darkness of scenes mirroring each of the characters internal turmoil.
