In bustling Mumbai, head nurse Prabha (Kani Kusruti) finds her steady routine upended when an unexpected gift from her estranged husband in Germany forces her to confront old wounds. Meanwhile, her younger roommate Anu (Divya Prabha), a new hire at the hospital, struggles to carve out a private space in the crowded city for a secret romance with a Muslim man—one she must hide from her strict Hindu family. Their coworker, cook Parvaty (Chhaya Kadam), faces the threat of eviction, adding another layer of tension.
Director Payal Kapadia, Cannes Grand Prize winner for her debut, masterfully captures the vibrant textures of contemporary working-class Mumbai and the serene beauty of a nearby beach town. When a spontaneous trip to the coast provides a rare escape, the women find a space to express their deepest desires and dreams.
All We Imagine as Light is a soulful exploration of connection, resilience, and the transformative power of friendship and sisterhood.
"This is a very patient movie, filled with equally patient performances, lyrical camerawork and some stunning images of its characters residing within the frame. Kapadia’s screenplay builds fleshed out characters, even in the supporting roles."
— Odie Henderson, Boston Globe
"This is a film of moments that stay with you."
—Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
"All We Imagine as Light is the kind of movie one experiences in solitude even when sharing it with others. As with dwellers in a great metropolis, it makes strangers and accomplices of us all."
—Ty Burr, Washington Post
