Anchored in time around the 2008 Mumbai bombings, UNRAVELING is the story of the protagonist, Shalini, who only after experiencing an extremely hostile situation, awakens to the realization that she has become hostage to her own life choices. From the high pitch of her days as a young girl full of promise, ready to take on the world on her own terms; to the sober sound of life abandoned, grief borne and chances lost, Shalini struggles, as much with herself as her circumstances yearning to give in to her heart's honest desires on one hand, while wrestling with guilt over her notions of loyalty and inviolability of the marriage contract on the other.
Is her deep discontent with her personal life merely a weakness serving her own selfish need, or is it a manifestation of a deeper sensibility? Vibrant, thought-provoking and thoroughly engaging, UNRAVELING is not just the story of a woman facing up to her life of self-deception, but also a meditation on the theory of how choice, unselfish as it may seem at the time we make it, can cause collateral damage along the way.
