Synopsis
A mother-daughter bond, once strained to its limits, is gently mended by the quiet strength of Rangamani, the mother. The daughter, Sujata, lost in the whirl of corporate ambition, finds herself drowning in the tides of depression and relentless mood swings. But at 50, she rediscovers her essence, cradled in the tendera embrace of her 80-year-old mother. It is then that Sujata understands: no matter the age, a mother's love holds the power to heal. In the race for success, she realizes, one must pause, learn love and honor the sacrifices of the parents, and respect their rights.
