A newly arranged marriage. An oddball couple shoved together in a small Mumbai shack with paper-thin walls. They are awkward and alone-together. Unpredictable Uma does her best to cope with the heat, her total lack of domestic skills, nosy neighbours and her bumbling spouse until the nocturnal world of Mumbai and its inhabitants lead her to face her own strange behaviours.

Channeling an utterly unique punk sensibility within its genre-inflected story of rebellion and liberation, this imaginatively suprising horror-inflected comedic gem marks the tantalisingly unpredictable directorial debut of Karan Kandhari, led by an astonishingly transformative, physical performance driven turn by Radhika Apte.
