Sister Midnight

A newly arranged marriage. An oddball couple shoved together in a small Mumbai shack with paper-thin walls. They are awkward and alone-together. A rebellious small-town misfit, Uma (acclaimed Indian star Radhika Apte) does her best to cope with the heat, her total lack of domestic skills, nosy neighbors and her bumbling spouse, until the nocturnal world of Mumbai and its inhabitants provokes a disturbing transformation that forces her to embrace her darkest impulses. This bold, unpredictable, and darkly funny debut feature from London based Indian artist and filmmaker Karan Kandhari features an eclectic soundtrack (Interpol frontman Paul Banks makes his debut as composer) and a singular visual aesthetic.
