In a vast, heaving Mumbai that bustles by day and glimmers by night, two nurses — roommates by chance — form a makeshift sisterhood. Proper, practical Prabha grieves her estranged marriage but holds her teeming desires (and an eager suitor) at bay; youthful, sensuous Anu cherishes secret text messages and steamy trysts with a Muslim boy. Meanwhile, a no-nonsense neighbor whose widowhood leaves her struggling to keep her home recruits the two younger women to her village by the sea — where all three find unlikely refuge in the clarity of shared wanting, if not having.
