Vaijayanti is a recently widowed matriarch, living a conformist way of life in suburban Hubli, Karnataka. During her daughter Kavya’s postpartum isolation, the mother and daughter struggle to come to terms with their notions of motherhood as they attempt to reconnect through a catalytic midwife, Bhama. Bhama’s songs and folk-tales set both the women into a journey of questioning their ancestral truths which shaped their identity. One day, Bhama mysteriously disappears. While Kavya feels betrayed given that their relationship had grown intimate, Vaijayanthi goes into a frenzy of purifying the house, suspecting that Bhama might be Alakshmi - the inauspicious goddess of misery. his - inute sh rt is intended as a i t e e t s enes r the fi narrati e t de i t the the es d and isua an ua e the fi
