The Albatross Cafe

Sonali is well into her thirties and perpetually, permanently single. She leads a wonderfully full life, and - for the most part - wouldn't change a thing. Her other half and platonic life partner is Jake. They share an uncommonly close bond. Suddenly though, Sonali is left to examine her place in the world when Jake introduces a new, serious boyfriend. Sensing a fundamental shift, she spins out in a moment of doubt, even as she takes bold, decisive steps towards making a family in her own unorthodox way. In a world (even a gay one) that elevates traditional, heteronormative romantic relationships to be unquestionably the most important ones, is there a space for her? Where does she fit?

Directed by Andrew Grayson Stephens, Amrita Vijayaraghavan, The Albatross Cafe leans on a strong ensemble — Sonal Shah, Matt Doyle, Jordan Dallam — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 0.
