Hiding Divya

17 Mar 2007

Linny Shah returns home with her daughter Jia to attend her uncle's funeral. Estranged from her mother Divya since her teenage pregnancy, Linny, until now, has resisted being pulled into painful memories of her mother's mental illness during her youth. 

Upon arriving at her childhood home Linny discovers that she is entitled to an inheritance of $20,000, but she must wait two weeks before she can collect. Otherwise penniless, Linny has no choice but to wait it out at her mother's home. But soon things go from ordinary to extraordinary as Divya exhibits signs of serious mental illness.
