After a night of heavy rain, two sisters, Aaima and Ushna, clear out their flooded home. Amidst this activity, they uncover a collection of old, drenched photographs of their late parents. As they sift through the pictures, they begin playing ghar ghar —a childhood game of role-play in which they reenact scenes from their mother’s life. What begins as a playful reenactment transforms into a quiet act of remembrance, allowing the sisters to process their grief and reconnect with certain memories.

Confronting casteism, societal judgement, and unwanted male attention, they find solace in sisterhood and silent rebellion.
