Synopsis

Calorie is an intergenerational story of Monika, a Sikh-Canadian whose mother was a victim of the Air India bombing years earlier. She must come to terms with the tragedy that she has kept secret from her two teenage daughters as she struggles to regain her relationship with them. In the hopes of setting things right, she sends Alia, her calorie-obsessed 13-year-old, and Simi, her boy-obsessed 17-year-old, to stay with her aunt and uncle in India for an Indian cultural rehabilitation and to give her time to take on her own demons. When Monika finally joins her daughters in India, she received a cold welcome from the two who feel abandoned by her.
