The story of the film is of one morning when a woman is in a rush to get ready and head out of her house to an important meeting. As Jennifer moves out of bed, her long list of gadgets await the moment when their human companion would finally be up. Each more eager than the other to provide information, leads to the realisation of the truth of the age-old adage - too many cooks spoil the broth. In its comedic manner, where chaotic events follow one after another in quick successions, the film is also a comment on the deep infestation of technology in our lives. Consequently, instead of making things simpler, it has led to more confusion. The same is engaged with using virtual assistants that include Siri, Cortana and Alexa. Amidst the rigmarole of all the unimportant information being hurled at the hassled protagonist, can she really find her way out of this jungle to make it to her meeting in time? The film is an endeavour to interact with this concern, while also bringing in a humourous conversation between its many virtual characters.

The film is a zealous attempt to talk about the struggles of several women, all from different walks of life, and how they are united by a common thread that ties them all together. Dressed as angels, as they move and sway to a common beat, while also exhibiting moments of affinity to their own individual dance forms, the story becomes a glimpse into the numerous obstacles they grapple with on a regular basis. From health problems to domestic abuse, to suicide attempts to work pressures, the narrative engages with them all. Despite the bleakness of the situation, the film wants to carry with it an inherent message of hope and the desire to never give up. Irrespective of whatever life may throw their way, all of the characters find a way to remind themselves that they are indeed in possession of a strength and courage that allows them to be their own individual saviours.

When coronavirus seems to have the world tightly within its hold, plummeting spirits everywhere, this film surfaces as an attempt to address the very sense of despair and dejection. Consequently, the tone it adopts right from the start is a lighthearted one. This, in turn, allows it to not only justify its title, but also present its intentions to the viewer in a lucid manner. The plot pivots on a virtual potluck and a few couples getting together on a video call to share the experiences of their own lived reality. As stories begin to flow from different parts of the globe - India, Italy, Canada and the US, the film endeavours to rope in humour and comedic moments to drive its message home. This video call is followed by another a couple of days later with more updates being exchanged between the group, further aiming to amplify and accentuate its message of positivity and hope irrespective of how dark things might seem.
