An Indian and French co-production, the film is Talati's feature directorial debut, as well as the acting debut of both Panigrahi and Kiron. The film is set in a boarding school in the Himalayan foothills, and centers around teenager Mira's romance with a charming new student, her subsequent sexual awakening, and at times strained relationship with her protective mother.
