Synopsis:
Divorces can be tricky and tough. Our human brains have evolved to hone a drive for love and partnership that lasts just long enough until one is predisposed. In “Deep Fridge” both Swarnava and Mili are victims of this vicious, prejudiced idea of a perfectly happy marriage. Will they be able to seek closure post their divorce and see things with more clarity in an effort to build a guilt free future for both of them separately which is fair to their only child Tatai.
