Menstruation and the taboo around it, especially in Indian society, is a much discussed topic in contemporary times. Consequently, art too attempts to engage with it often, and this short film is one such endeavour. The story is about a family making a trip to a nearby temple with all four members ready with a wish each to ask for.

The narrative attempts to contribute to the conversation in a well-intentioned manner. Its method of choice for the same is simple and employs easily understood characters to communicate the message. Without overtly spelling out anything, it leaves the viewer with a reminder of the significance of the female body in the Indian culture, and the need to respect and understand it.
