Synopsis

Roya performs her last show playing “Nandini” -- the epitome of Bengali womanhood, the central character of Rabindranath Tagore’s play Red Oleanders, the story of a girl who recognizes no social barriers and taboos and who disregards them in her search for happiness. Roya undertakes her own assiduous psychological journey as Nandini. She finds herself under construction, traveling alone to express her own desires, wishes and ambitions.
