A frontline healthcare worker who returns home for a seven-day quarantine due to the COVID pandemic and spends time interacting through a door with her elderly mother, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease.[1][2]
In 2020, Shah decided to experiment with writing and directing in two self-starring COVID-19-based short films, Someday and Happy Birthday Mummy Ji.[3][4] Someday marked her directorial debut, and Shah conceived the story based on memories from her mother who had turned caregiver to her grandmother, and shot the film with a five-member crew at her residence over a period of two days.[1][5]
