The documentary depicts the lives of three women in a village in Uttar Pradesh, India. In a patriarchal society, it’s uncommon for women to sit outside or take a leisurely walk. This film follows Geeta, Usha, and Lucy, who are housewives. They spend their days working and eagerly await the evening, when they can go out and escape in their imaginative world temporarily. The filmmaker aims to explore the freedom of expression for women in both private and public spheres.
