Directed by Alisha Tejpal • 2020 • India, United States
Starring Shobha Dangale, Ananya Tuli, Kirti Kadam

Through a succession of rigorously controlled compositions, the world of a young domestic worker (Shobha Dangle) in an upper-class Mumbai household gradually comes into focus—her day-to-day routines, her place within the social structure of the home, and, ultimately, her quiet strength. Probing issues of caste and class with a penetrating, uniquely cinematic eye, director Alisha Tejpal makes visible the lives and labor that so often remain outside the frame.
