Prabha is a single woman living alone in the family-centric, patriarchal Indian society. Her car is her sole companion & her prized possession. During her youth, they traveled thousands of kilometers across the country. At 86, Prabha spends hours managing traffic at busy city junctions. 

She inhabits a colorful world of vintage car clubs and rallies. A blunder made by a mechanic broke down her Austin, turning her life into a quest to fix it back and go for the last journey together. Fellow vintage car owners, and rich elite men, approach her to buy her car but, for Prabha, it is a souvenir of her youth. She often says “When you live alone, objects become family”. Prabha is offered a solution in the form of turning the car electric but, she rejects the idea of Austin losing its sanctity almost as a refusal to be slowed down by age and turned redundant. 

She will try to sue the old mechanic, collect rare parts, and maneuver in a still male-dominated automobile world; making a place for herself. We understand that her desire to fix it has given her the motivation to carry on. It is a metaphor for an old woman struggling with loneliness and anxiety over the end of life.
