About All We Imagine As Light

‘All We Imagine As Light’, a Malayalam-Hindi feature, centers on the story of Prabha, a nurse whose life takes a sudden turn when she receives an unexpected gift from her estranged husband. Meanwhile, her younger roommate Anu struggles to find privacy in the bustling city to be with her boyfriend. The two women embark on a road trip to a beach town with their friend Parvati, where a mystical forest becomes the backdrop for their dreams and desires to unfold. 

The film, starring Kani Kusruti, Divya Prabha, and Chhaya Kadam, is a co-production between France’s petit chaos and India’s Chalk & Cheese and Another Birth. It will be screened in major cities across India, including Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram, and Kolkata. 

Following its Indian release, ‘All We Imagine As Light’ will also make its way to theatres in the UK and US next month, further solidifying its international appeal.
