Songs of Forgotten Trees review – sensitive, ambiguous drama of female intimacy in Mumbai In India's bustling metropolis, where ancient traditions coexist with gleaming skyscrapers, countless stories of women exist between societal expectations and personal desires.
Anuparna Roy's debut film explores one such space: a cramped Mumbai apartment shared by Thooya (Naaz Shaikh), an actor and sex worker, Nitin (Bushan Shimpi), and Shweta (Sumi Baghel), a remote IT worker.
The narrative appears to be about roommates struggling to maintain normalcy in a stifling environment.
