Three generations of the Phadke family live together in their ancestral home in downtown Mumbai. With her brother's wedding coming up, and her own misgivings towards marriage, the filmmaker turns the camera inwards towards her family. Rooted in the ebbs and flows of 'unspectacular time', the personal becomes political as power structures within the family first become visible, and eventually, unravel. Cruel and comic in equal measure, the film vignettes the vagaries of affection across generations within this family- tied together by something stranger than love.
