Synopsis

A sensuous tale of two nurses, their romances and a mystical trip to the coast. Capturing the here and now of modern India with the spontaneity of a candid photograph, All We Imagine as Light is a lustrous achievement. All We Imagine as Light tells the stories of the people on the breadline, those who are just about getting by, trying to hold onto their homes and their dignity as the city's wealthy elite buy up and bulldoze their properties All We Imagine as Light was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, where it had its world premiere and received an eight minute standing ovation at the end of its screening. This is the first film from India to compete in the main competition at Cannes since Swaham in 1994, and Kapadia is the first Indian female filmmaker to do so. It won the Grand Prix, becoming the first Indian film to do so.
