This film addresses missing people in Kashmir. Missing people is usually the term for those who have been picked up by security forces and have disappeared. The location, here as with the earlier two films, is Kashmir: sandwiched between India and Pakistan, Kashmir is a battleground for both. Since the men are not declared ‘dead’, their wives are not widows, but ‘half widows’. They live with the memories of their love and have to switch from being a woman in the veil to a bread-earner. All this in a war zone where anybody can be picked up or shot by a security forces or by any one of the militants roaming in the valley. These women are survivors of a period in the history of this ‘paradise on earth’.
