A documentary that explores the complex ways in which women understand and experience motherhood. The key question it raises is that is motherhood always a ‘natural’ precondition towards the fulfillment of a woman’s subjectivity? A package that tends to fix the role of women as ‘producers’ in the given cultural context. The film explores this juncture to etch out individual and diverse desires of women and the ways in which they relate to being mothers or its absence.

The film travels to Bombay, Delhi, Benares and Shillong, going back in time to reveal how the current crisis of sex ratios had been foretold by those on the forefront of the campaigns against sex determination and pre-selection. It assesses government initiatives, looks beyond the rhetoric, and uses the lens of culture to explore common beliefs about daughters and sons within the family, men and women in society.

Haryana's alarmingly low sex ratio has brought them all together: a motley group of budding writers, singers, actors and organisers. They delve in community theatre or Jathas. Their many hundred journeys through the girl-unfriendly landscape of their state are made with a single purpose: motivating communities to value their daughters.

Smriti and Rupa live an hour away from each other but the only thing their worlds seem to have in common is that they are both mothers. Smriti is a stay at home mom, living in a posh South Delhi colony and Rupa is a domestic worker living in a basti in Gurgaon. Both are pregnant and as they wait for their babies to be born, they reflect on what it means to be a mother. As new worlds open up for women and old roles persist, the film looks at how women enact motherhood in our times.
