Namita Joshi is eighteen and Indian with an inexplicable fascination for France. Studying French Literature in Bombay, she has grand plans for her career – with her strong cultural roots, her intelligence and her beauty, it seems that there is only one way to go – to the top.
At an international film festival, she meets Serge, an attractive young Frenchman. They are instantly attracted and fall in love. The brief affair marks her for life…
Married to a man handpicked by her parents, she looks for that same love in her marriage. But something dark and destructive engulfs hem instead, a darkness that now dictates her life.
Namita has to confront herself and all she has known so far. She has to navigate her life, which slowly begins to unfold and blossom in a new direction.
Three decades later, she meets Serge, this time in Paris.
Again, she has new choices to face…
