Tea Powder (2026)

Story / Synopsis

In 1970s Kozhikode, Kerala, Zuhra and Nila run an underground independent publication from their adjacent homes. Within this shared clandestine space, their bond deepens into a quiet, forbidden romance. The delicate balance of their secret life is shattered when an unexpected letter arrives for Zuhra. This delivery threatens to expose their radical work and dismantle the intimate world they built. Filmed in evocative black-and-white, the narrative explores the intersections of queer love, historical erasure, and resistance under societal oppression.
