Dithsa returns to Kolkata to live with her single mother, Rupa, after years away. Stepping back feels both familiar and distant. Dithsa drifts through old photographs, voice recordings, and half-forgotten memories, their relationship strained by her father’s absence. Through Kakuli, Rupa’s lifelong friend, Dithsa begins to see a different side of her mother, beyond the role of a parent. She searches for a key to their abandoned family home, and when she finally visits, a strange encounter reveals the woman her mother once was—shaped by her own longings, dreams, and compromises.
The Haze is set in Kolkata and features a cast of non-actors, including my mother, sister, and their friends.
