One evening in Paris, two Indian women from Kerala, strangers to each other, find themselves in the Sulaimani Indian restaurant. Seated a few meters apart, they observe one another, intrigued. In this miniature Kerala that is the restaurant, the smells, the flavors, the music, the language – everything evokes the India of their past. Each revisits her journey of displacement and emancipation during this symbolic voyage filled with memories.
