Kulanandini Mahanta

A rebellious teenager Ritika needs money to escape home while her eccentric granny Makhoni wants to travel 500 kilometres in search of a mythical fish for a perfect exit from the world. Both elope together from home one night, chased by one very harried policewoman - Makhoni's daughter and Ritika's mother, Indira.

Bhaskar lights a cigarette in the toilet, the one room that asks nothing of him, where the perfect son, brother, and boyfriend he's spent a lifetime becoming can momentarily disappear. But that perfect self follows him in. Voices of his childhood, adolescence, and adulthood crowd the small room, each carrying its own expectation and correction. As his mind buckles under impossible standards, his body follows. He came to release, but finds himself more stuck than ever, until years of chaos finally break free.
