The story takes the audience deep into the suffocation of joint family expectations, i.e. more grandchildren, more land and more status. Every conversation in the movie appears like a negotiation, whereas every silence is loaded with judgment. Small moments like a husband defending his wife in front of his mother, a wife crying alone in the kitchen, appear to be quite painful and familiar at the same time.
