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.

This event is followed by a post-screening discussion hosted by South Asian Sisters Speak. 

South Asian Sisters Speak creates spaces for South Asian women to connect, learn and share their experiences. They run regular workshops, panel events and are also the home of the Brown Girls’ Book Club – helping South Asian women find belonging and community so they feel empowered to be their whole selves.
