Description
Violet Stoneham (Jennifer Kapoor) was a lonely, middle aged Anglo Indian. As a school teacher, Shakespeare was her one great love in an otherwise uneventful existence that she teaches to a bunch of inattentive, giggly schoolgirls. A pair of young lovers, Samaresh and Nandita, walk into Violet’s life one Christmas morning, and gradually a warm and exciting relationship builds up between them. Just as this newfound friendship grows, the couple gets married and moves on, leaving Violet lonely again. Maybe they will come back again…she hopes, constantly waiting until next Christmas.
