Everything Is Fine (Sab Theek Hain)

USA/India, 17m, Alexa

At the age of 58, Asha decides she wants to leave her marriage of 35 years and claim the youth she never had. To that end, she seeks help from her unsuspecting, Type-A daughter, Natasha, 28. The girl's angry, knee-jerk reaction leads Asha to realise she has to make some tough decisions about her life. A coming-of-age dramedy for two women in very different stages of their lives.
