When writer and columnist Sitalakshmi
crosses the threshold of marriage at the age of 21; she suffers in the hands of
the patriarchy. She is constantly beaten down by hypocrisy and misogyny for the
next 12 years of her married life. Life throws a curve ball at her when she
authors a controversial book, Sitayana. It leads to a series of unfortunate
events in her life beginning with her disappearance.
Is Sitalakshmi alive? Does she too succumb
to the double standards of the society like Sita from Ramayana? Diana Annamma
Varkey, the badass Crime Branch officer, sets out to find out. She treads
through many unsettling questions that women like Sitalakshmi seeks answers to
- Who decides a woman’s worth? Who decides a woman’s limits? - but swathes
under the dirty rugs of adjustments and compromises.
