Set in the backdrop of middle-class Indian society, Avantika, a young Indian girl, develops an intimate relationship with Julia, a young American painter, who is temporarily visiting India. Despite mutual attraction, there is a meandering ambiguity in their relationship. The film depicts the complexities of a relationship between two women, coming from different cultural background. The shadows are not only visible, but also psychological: repressed desires reemerge in the form of dreams and they materializes as art.
