LONGING is based in the post independent India when a newly wed wife migrates to UK with her Husband. The traditional cultured wife is trying to come to terms with new lifestyle, different culture and a Cheating husband.
Sex has always been a big taboo in Indian Society so even talking about it is a sin. The virgin wife had huge dreams of her first night after marriage when she will be loosing it all, to her loved one. Unfortunately on the first night itself the husband has left her to see her college sweetheart.
The 20 years of longing and awaiting in anticipation of that first night of marriage. The longing for the family and friends that she has left far behind. The longing for the land and the culture where her belonging and upbringing is. The longing for that Husband who has left her. The longing for that touch of a man and feeling of that masclulinity against her own body.
