'Some People Call It the City of Dreams, But I Don't'
Briefly

In All We Imagine As Light, Payal Kapadia captures Mumbai's beauty with an ethereal lens, creating a ghostly yet intimate portrayal of the city's inhabitants.
Kapadia's film contrasts typical documentaries by presenting a city symphony that feels more like a 'city nocturne,' highlighting the fragility of human connections.
The film's protagonists, three women in a hospital, navigate complexities of life in a city that often feels elusive; their stories unfold gently, full of poignant uncertainties.
Finding beauty in the mundane and uncertainty, the film subtly portrays the paradoxes of life in Mumbai, where personal struggles meet the city's relentless chaos.
