Far Away
It portrays one night in the lives of three India immigrants RITIKA, KABIR and SALMA who are forced to dig into their past and question their move.
Ritika is living in the USA with her husband, this particular night they are confronted with the most dreaded situation when they realize that Ritika is pregnant. She wants to have the baby but her husband considers himself financially incapable and still not ready to take the next step. What ensues is a series of heart wrenching discussions and delve into the past where they are forced to come face with the bitter truth of reasons for moving far away which is affecting their decisions now .
Kabir is all alone in this foreign country which he moved to via illegal means. He dearly misses his family whom he last met before stepping out of his Country. He hasn’t gone back ever since and now after so many years going back is not even an option as he is living unlawfully and the fear of getting caught and losing everything is greater. This is the first night in all the nights and probably the last when he opens the door to someone he can confide in – his concerned neighbor , who has come to check on him.
Salma moved to the USA to pursue her higher studies and get a job. But the idea of leaving her parents behind always haunted her. This particular night she has finally made her decision to leave everything that matters now and choose what matters the most. It hasn’t been an easy decision to make , either ways she is losing something close to her heart and she will be far away from, be it her love for Mike or her Parents. But she has to brave it all to go and start from where it all began.
This Particular night exposes the vulnerability of all the characters in a different light.
