Sleeping on Jupiter

A compelling narrative unfolds as Nomi, a young woman bearing the scars of an unnamed past, arrives in the ancient, temple-laden coastal town of Jarmuli. Her sudden, unsettling presence coincides with the arrival of three elderly women on a long-awaited holiday, and a troubled photographer battling his own demons. As their disparate paths intertwine, Jarmuli, a place ostensibly of spiritual solace, slowly reveals its darker, deeply ingrained history. Nomi's search for peace is complicated by the town's pervasive secrets, forcing her and the other visitors to confront unsettling truths about memory, abuse, and the complex interplay between devotion and despair. Anuradha Roy masterfully weaves a tale of interconnected lives, where the picturesque facade of a pilgrimage site gives way to the raw, transformative power of confronting a long-buried past.
