Calorie
“One summer. One secret. One chance to heal.”
Synopsis
Calorie follows three generations of women whose present and past collide during an emotionally packed summer in India. Monika is a stressed-out single mom of two teens, calorie-obsessed Alia and rebellious Simi. She decides to send her girls to India to visit their great aunt and uncle. Monika hopes that connecting her daughters to their Punjabi roots will set them straight. But what begins as a reluctant trip soon turns into a transformative coming-of-age journey. Amid culture shock, family clashes, and unexpected bonds, Alia and Simi discover a hidden family tragedy that Monika has kept hidden from them and whose wounds threaten to splinter the entire family in this bittersweet female-driven drama.
