What’s the Film About?

The mother sets out on a camping trip with her two children — 11-year-old Rahaan and 8-year-old Mitra. She wants to address an important yet uncomfortable topic: inappropriate touch. The conversations begin in the intimate space of the car and continue in the tent. The family shares a close bond. The mother gives her children the space to react naturally, defend themselves, and ask her questions. Humor and self-reflection shape the discussions, leading to reflections on her role as a parent, the dynamics between her and her children, and the relationships between the siblings themselves. The filmmaking process also plays a role in the conversation but does not disrupt the family’s intimacy — even when Mitra keeps forgetting that she’s supposed to pretend the camera and the person behind it aren’t there.
