That
Girl
In
Yellow
Boots
is
a
thriller
tracing
Ruth's
(Kalki
Koechlin)
search
for
her
father
-
a
man
she
hardly
knew
but
cannot
forget.
Desperation
drives
her
to
work
without
a
permit,
at
a
massage
parlour.
Torn
between
several
schisms,
Mumbai
becomes
the
alien
but
yet
strangely
familiar
backdrop
for
Ruth's
quest.
She
struggles
to
find
her
independence
and
space
even
as
she
is
sucked
deeper
into
the
labyrinthine
politics
of
the
city's
underbelly.
A
city
that
feeds
on
her
misery,
a
love
that
eludes
her
and
above
all,
a
devastating
truth
that
she
must
encounter.
And
everyone
wants
a
piece
of
her.
