A sensitive film about a mother and daughter-in-law who must find a way around social convention to remain friends after the latter's marriage breaks down.

Paromitar Ek Din is a Bengali film exploring the dual themes of friendship and loneliness. Sanaka (Aparna Sen) and Paromita (Rituparna Sengupta) are mother and daughter-in-law who, despite differences in age, backgrounds and temperaments, build a strong bond together. But when Paromita's marriage to Sanaka's son breaks down, social mores prevent the women from remaining close friends.

While Paromita remarries and begins a new life, her mother-in-law (played brilliantly by Aparna Sen) is left heartbroken and alone and eventually falls seriously ill. When Paromita learns of her friend's deterioration, she is compelled to flout convention, and returns to nurse Sanaka on her deathbed. Aparna Sen has made a sensitive and gentle film about the different way in which women unite despite the expectations of social norms.
