Feathers in the Sky is based on the 2019 Covid pandemic scenario which forced the entire world to stay indoors for several months. It brought some families closer, while it also caused some estranged relationships. It particularly highlighted the patriarchal nature of the society and how some families broke the stereotype.

Synopsis: Kiyaara, the 8 year old protagonist is bored and frustrated being stuck indoors with no socialisation and physical play. At the same time, her mother is stuck in the intertwined societal beliefs, her duties towards the household and her desire for freedom.

It is a story of finding hope in the messy reality of daily life.
