Set in Lucknow, the story follows Sandhya, a young woman who becomes a widow just five months after her marriage. While her quirky extended family descends upon the household to perform traditional mourning rituals, Sandhya finds herself unable to shed a tear, instead craving Pepsi and spicy snacks. As she navigates the judgmental whispers of her relatives and discovers a startling secret about her late husband’s past, she begins a journey of self-discovery. The film is a poignant black comedy that explores the complexities of grief, the restrictive nature of patriarchal social norms, and a woman's quest for autonomy in the face of tragedy.
