Our take
All We Imagine as Light follows nurses in Mumbai through loneliness, a secret relationship, and a trip out of the city. There is a consensual sex scene and kissing, plus talk of an absent husband. No gore, little language, no action violence. Mood and intimacy are the content. Fine for mid-teens who can handle a discreet sex scene in an art drama
Uplifting themes
Friendship, dignity at work, and making space for other people's happiness The nurses show up for a coworker losing her home and for each other A lived-in look at women's working lives in Mumbai, without a lecture
Story (may spoil tone)
In Mumbai, Nurse Prabha's routine is troubled when she receives an unexpected gift from her estranged husband. Her younger roommate, Anu, tries in vain to find a spot in the city to be intimate with her boyfriend. A trip to a beach town allows them to find a space for their desires to manifest.

Talk after watching
- Two friends want different kinds of love. How do they look after each other anyway?
- The city makes privacy hard. Why does that matter for young people dating?
