MONOGAMISH

Drama | 13m | 2017

MONOGAMISH follows Sagar and Nishi, a sexually fluid, Indian pair who are not in a "typical" relationship. Although the intimacy and connection they have is undeniable, they are not partners and they are not cheating. Sagar is already in a committed relationship and all three parties are aware.

Monogamish explores the dynamics and strength of these two non-traditional couples, where agreements are made and boundaries are challenged.
