The Tenant

Bharat is a 13-year-old boy struggling with adolescence in a conservative Mumbai suburb. When Meera, a beautiful cosmopolitan woman from the big city, moves in next door, she immediately causes a stir. Bharat is drawn to her and pursues an unlikely friendship. 

Meera, lonely and vulnerable, finds Bharat’s innocence a welcome change in a sea of ogling Indian men. When she introduces him to jazz and teaches him how to dance with a woman, he glimpses a world of possibilities he is eager to experience. 

But when he stumbles upon a dark secret from Meera’s past, Bharat is forced to choose: Is she a woman of bad character like everyone says, or is she the smart, sensitive person he knows? It’s only a matter of time before the grown ups in the building find out, and what Bharat does next will determine the kind of man he will grow up to be.
