Three lost souls in India find a home away from home. Divya, a juvenile home warden, and Vivek, an actor struggling to create art, meet Sandhya, a 14-year old girl with a dark past. Together, they rise above their circumstances. When both of Sandhya’s parents fall victim to crop failure, she is forced to live with her abusive uncle in Mumbai. Through the strength instilled in her by her mother, Sandhya will not put up with her uncle’s actions. But when she takes a stand, it lands her in a juvenile reform home, directed by Warden Divya, where she will live until she turns eighteen. Meanwhile, Vivek, a man in his early forties, struggles to come to terms with an unfulfilled acting career. One of Vivek’s saving graces is his ability to use his performance training during workshop sessions in the juvenile home, where he helps the children understand their emotional cores. It is through these sessions that all of their lives will change, and Sandhya, Vivek, and Divya, will fight their demons. But, will they emerge unscathed? (Cinequest Festival)
