The Fragrance of Kindness is a film about a young mother, Asha whose dreams of a happy married life are shattered as her husband is alcoholic and unemployed. With two young children to raise she is forced to fend for herself in rural Karnataka. She learns to drive an ambulance and conducts funerals of unclaimed, abandoned and decomposed bodies. The social stigma, the inhuman treatment from family and society and the painful reality of burying her sister from suicide bring into focus Asha's grit and compassion.
