15 Park Avenue

In the bustling, rain‑kissed streets of contemporary Kolkata, a family quietly holds together a fragile equilibrium. At its heart is Meethi, a woman in her thirties whose mind drifts between the ordinary cadence of daily life and an intricate, imagined existence anchored at an address that never appears on any map. Her alternate reality is populated by a husband and five children, a life that feels as tangible to her as the streets she walks each day.

Anu, Meethi’s older sister, has set aside her own ambitions and romantic hopes to become the steady anchor for both her sister and their aging mother. A devoted professor, she balances the demands of a career with the relentless vigilance required to keep Meethi tethered, embodying a love that is both tender and burdensome. Their mother, a stoic presence whose quiet strength underpins the household, adds another layer of generational care and unspoken sacrifice.

The film unfolds with a gentle, meditative tone, allowing the city’s ambient hum and the household’s routine chores to become a backdrop for a deeper exploration of mental illness and familial devotion. When Dr. Kunal Barua steps into Meethi’s care, his clinical curiosity is tempered by empathy, prompting subtle shifts in the family’s approach to healing and hope. The delicate interplay between medicine and the family’s intimate knowledge of Meethi’s inner world hints at possibilities without dictating them.

Amidst this quiet drama, Joydeep Roy reappears, a figure from Meethi’s past whose presence awakens lingering echoes of what once was. His involvement introduces a faint, unsettling current that ripples through the family’s careful balance, suggesting that the line between protection and confinement may be more porous than anyone wishes to admit. The atmosphere remains hushed yet charged, inviting viewers to linger in the space where love, duty, and the fragile architecture of the mind intersect.
