Description
Rachel Meyer's decision to move to Mumbai with her husband Dhruv is met with some culture shock, but she's determined to learn her way around the city. However, when her mother-in-law Swati suddenly arrives from Kolkata, alone and with an unexpected announcement, Rachel's sense of adventure is sorely tested.
The arrival of this strong-willed woman from a different background brings into question the things in their lives that had seemed perfect and permanent. As Dhruv is called away on business, these two women are left together in a home where each is determined to run in her own way, leading to an uneasy situation that ultimately brings unexpected results.
A heartwarming and insightful exploration of identity and culture, Mother Land introduces us to two complex women from very different backgrounds, highlighting how what makes us different can ultimately unite us.
