Parthena dives her Papu to his doctor’s appointment in town. Parthena is filling in for his regular driver so they are forced to talk to each other for once.
Papu speaks his mind and like her Papu, Parthena does as well. Off the bat we surmise Papu must be a traditionalist refusing to call Parthena, Nina which is her preferred nickname. Papu does not comment about Parthena’s facial piercings and numerous tattoos but his expression reveals all!
The banter between them is not acrimonious but more sarcastic and at times comedic. Parthena is convinced Papu hates her because she is a lesbian. Papu the drops a bomb about ya ya!
There is deep respect between Papu and Parthena perhaps because they are alike.
Papu meets Katerina who is Parthena’s special lady when their car breaks down and that is where the film becomes heartwarming. How could Papu hate his granddaughter!
