‘Pashmina’ follows the story of Amar and Vibha Saxena, who habitually visit a new place every summer. However, a holiday in Kashmir turns out to be an eventful trip down the memory lane. Memories that no parent would want to relive, come flooding back. Enchanting Kashmir becomes the backdrop of an unfolding trauma that they survived not so long back. At the heart of the story is a Pashmina shawl that becomes a metaphor for healing and the beauty of human connections. The narrative delicately weaves together the intricate emotions of a sensitive relationship and reveals if Vibha will be able to discover the secret that Amar has been holding back from her.
