We follow the nervous virgin Sid as he makes a pilgrimage of sorts to a much-vaunted temptress in the area. But the mythical seductress has other plans. She turns Sid’s first time into a terrifying supernatural ordeal, where he is forced to reckon with the violence and sexual slavery that ensnares Kamathipura’s workers.

A divorced and alienated woman in her early 30s experiences a pivotal day when she decides to resign from her job to pursue an acting career. Despite her efforts to engage in a meaningful conversation with her family, she encounters only fruitless resistance.
