Breakthrough filmmaker Payal Kapadia (A Night of Knowing Nothing) presents a poetic exploration of desire and liberation set against the vibrant backdrop of working-class Mumbai. Nurse Prabha’s routine life is upended by an unexpected gift from her estranged husband, stirring unresolved emotions. Her younger roommate, Anu, seeks intimacy with her boyfriend but struggles to find privacy in the crowded city. A spontaneous trip to a beach town offers both women a chance to escape the confines of their lives and embrace their deepest desires. The first Indian film to play in competition at Cannes in 30 years, where it won the Grand Prix, All We Imagine as Light is a soulful study of the transformative power of friendship and womanhood, in all its complexities and richness. Subtitles, Cleveland premiere.
