These eight compelling stories are about empowered Indian women facing challenges. A budding psychiatrist, a survivor of child sexual abuse must treat a paedophile in a country that has no mandatory reporting of a paedophile yet. What does she do? A girl faces a boyfriend, jealous of her past a sense of belonging bestows freedom or territorialism? A talented actor finds it hard to pretend a role that she is truly playing in life. What happens when father's attractive woman admirer enters a middle-class household? Is a girl child still unwanted in a well to do family? These stories speak of all that is hidden in dignified silence.
