Synopsis
'After The Wedding' tells the story of Isabelle, a woman who works as the director of a Hindu orphanage. Both Isabelle and the orphanage fall on hard times when she almost goes bankrupt and grows uncertain as to whether she will be able to keep the building and the orphanage open for much longer. However, one day Isabelle learns that her organization is about to receive an incredible donation from a mysterious American businesswoman that will save the orphanage. Isabelle decides to travel to New York to meet and thank this businesswoman personally, though her plans are put on hold when Isabelle receives a wedding invitation from her benefactor, who will donate the money after her daughter's wedding. Though the decision to attend seems like an easy one, Isabelle soon realises that she will have to face up to the difficult events of her past from which she fled a long time ago and from which she still hides today.
