Synopsis : ‘Jhat Aayi Basant’ (An Early Spring) is a modern-day saga of young women who want to live life on their own terms and how these choices impact their relationship with their respective mothers. The film also probes into the hardships faced by the Pahari people who are dealing with changes in the climate at a direct level. Seema feels a little unsettled when a young backpacker Anu comes to stay with them. Soon, a friendship between Seema’s daughter Sonia and Anu grows. Though quite opposite in nature, both Anu and Sonia realise they are looking for the same thing — freedom to make their own decisions. Meanwhile, due to the lack of rains, their wheat crops get infested with pests. Things turn for worse, when Seema realises that Anu is fuelling Sonia’s desire to rebel against the norms.
