Umbro, the threshold of a home, is the liminal space that speaks to the lives of women, including the filmmaker’s mother and her friends who live in the small town of Dhrangadhra in central Gujarat, India. The film explores joyful friendships among women, routinely dismissed and unsung – carrying in them moments of shared stories, solidarities, conflicts and, most of all, routine acts of resistance. Umbro attempts to locate these flights of desire in the everyday, while celebrating the women’s indomitable love for life, and each other.
