Songs of Forgotten Trees

Followed by a talk with Anuparna Roy (online)

Thooya, a migrant and aspiring actress, secretly works as a part time sex worker in Mumbai. When she sublets her sugar daddy’s flat to Swetha, a call-centre employee and a migrant, an unexpected connection begins to form. Their lives, seemingly worlds apart, slowly entangle. Amid the city’s chaos, they share silences, stories, and small acts of care. But as buried desires and past wounds emerge, the fragile bond is tested. What unfolds is not drama, but a quiet blooming of selfhood, survival, and strange and platonic kinship between women navigating a world that rarely sees them. (CiLENS)
