Two nurses share a small apartment in Mumbai, where their daily routines unfold against a city teeming with noise and change. As one woman receives a surprise visit from her long-estranged husband, the other searches for space and freedom in a romantic relationship constrained by class and custom. A weekend journey to a coastal town offers them both a brief escape—and the rare possibility of self-discovery. All We Imagine as Light is a soulful study of the transformative power of friendship and sisterhood, in all its complexities and richness.
