      A newly arranged marriage sees an oddball couple shoved together in a small Mumbai shack with paper-thin walls. They are alone, awkward and together. Cranky Uma (Bollywood icon Radhika Apte) does her best to cope with the heat, her complete lack of domestic skills, nosy neighbors and her bumbling spouse until one night she discovers strange new feral cravings. Boisterous and heady, SISTER MIDNIGHT is a genre-exploding dark comedy that pulses with a dynamic, kinetic thrum as Apte’s electric presence bursts off the screen in every single scene. It's very very sharp, very, funny, and very surprising. Featuring an eclectic soundtrack (featuring songs from The Band, Howlin’ Wolf, Buddy Holly, the Stooges and more) and singular visual aesthetic, the film world-premiered in Cannes’ Directors Fortnight and won the award for Best Film in the Next Wave section at Fantastic Fest.
