CGiii Comment

Two women fall in love at a decrepit old-age home in the autumn of their lives. Both are aware of the repercussions of such a revelation in a society proscribing homosexuality; therefore, they exchange messages and gifts in secret. For most of her melancholy life, Indira has unwillingly played the role of an archetypal Bengali bride in a flagrantly patriarchal family. Such novel feelings are an uncharted realm of rhapsody and solace for her. Meera, on the other hand, is comfortable with her sexual identity. Her actions are forthright and unreserved; sometimes, they are overwhelming. As Indira muddles through her new-found romantic sentiments, Meera's assertive and heavy-handed approach strikingly resembles the patriarchal repression Indira had endured throughout her married life. As the romance blossoms, flourishes, and spreads through the worn-out walls and somber milieu, Indira subtly conveys to Meera that her imposing requests can be detrimental to their relationship.
