All We Imagine As Light is a story about two nurses from the south Indian state of Kerala working at a hospital and living together at a congested apartment in Mumbai.
The story tracks the two nurses- Prabha and Anu- who suffer in their individual relationships.
While Prabha's husband lives in Germany and barely keeps in touch, Anu is in a relationship with a Muslim man from Kerala knowing the relationship won't be approved by her family.
Prabha is played by Kani Kasruti while Anu is essayed by Divya Prabha.
Scripting history, All We Imagine As Light won Grand Prix, the second highest award at the Cannes Film Festival this year.
It was also the first Indian film in 30 years to compete for the top prize Palme d'Or at the 77th edition of Cannes Film Festival, where Kapadia's work received an eight-minute standing ovation after the screening.
