Anand Verma is a recovering alcoholic, struggling to overcome his failure as a dutiful son, husband, and father. After being abandoned by his wife to raise his possibly illegitimate child, Anand's overbearing mother sends him to India to marry Sonia, a beautiful yet unhappy stranger whose heart belongs to another. Will Anand find his moral compass? Will he fulfill his vows? Or will he splinter his relationship with his new wife and innocent son by returning to the bottle? The Seven Vows is a poignant story of one man's journey to adhere to his cultural values and navigate the complexities of love in order to find redemption, purpose, and peace.

A faithless priest stumbles into the home of an authoritarian Soviet General in the frozen city of Poznan. A cantankerous old man takes an autorickshaw ride in New Delhi that will restore his hope in humanity. A young mother establishes an everlasting bond of love for her unborn child during a difficult labor. Incapacitated, an embittered cancer-strewn man is forced to confront his failed legacy. Two young brothers' innocence and support for one another mask the tumultuous, broken household they live in. A Slice of Life reminds us that in spite of our geographical, racial, and cultural diversities, it is our emotions that collectively bind us. We all feel fear, apathy, and despair as well as courage, passion, and love. We all search for a meaningful purpose in our quest for fulfillment. From hardship to triumph, we all ride this roller coaster called life.
