11-year-old Rehaan and his 8-year-old sister Mitra are heading to a camp with their filmmaker mother, who wants to film a conversation on safe and unsafe touch with her children for an upcoming film.
Uncomfortable with the topic, the children resist, bringing forth their own grievances. Rehaan expresses concerns about his mother's recent behaviour, while Mitra accuses her of favouritism. As the tensions unfold, the film shoot takes an unexpected turn, delving into the complexities of family dynamics and unspoken concerns. Will the children overcome their discomfort and participate in this crucial conversation?
