They both dream of becoming Army Officers, but as arranged marriage looms around the corner, Indian traditions start to collide with their hopes for a self-determined future.Synopsis:Do you remember the first time you felt the conditions hiding behind your parents' unconditional love? What do you do when the freedom and choice you believed you had evaporates?
