Nita, a woman trapped in a toxic marriage, finally musters the courage to end her relationship with her sexually and emotionally abusive husband. Despite support from her friends, her family and society question her character and looks down upon her decision. But Nita refuses to be constrained by societal expectations and breaks free, starting a new life as a strong, independent woman.

Film is a visual craft. Directing a film is the author's point of view regarding his/her perception of the issue. A film should come up with responsible storytelling. The film is an artistic representation of a real event. In this film, as a director, I have put my point of view related to the issue that is happening around the globe. The setting is a Nepalese couple and their toxic relationship because of their sexually and mentally abusive husband. After tolerating such behavior, Nita decides to break up and start a new journey. However, She is questioned by the different elements of society. Nita (Protagonist) makes a final decision to break all the boundaries that have been set up by so-called social morals and values. Her intention is to live a peaceful and dignified life. My approach is to raise questions against the mindset that takes a wife as a sex slave. Sexual abuse and mental abuse is a crimes and unaccepted at any cost. No reason can judge the dignity of a woman. We have used some metaphors and a surrealistic visualization approach to tell some events.
