‘All We Imagine As Light’ made history at the 77th Cannes Film Festival with its innovative and fresh style of storytelling and direction.

The Payal Kapadia directed film follows the lives of two nurses from Kerala who are burdened with personal struggles.

The official description of the film reads - “In Mumbai, Nurse Prabha's routine is troubled when she receives an unexpected gift from her estranged husband. Her younger roommate, Anu, tries in vain to find a spot in the city to be intimate with her boyfriend. A trip to a beach town allows them to find a space for their desires to manifest.”
