Recently, Payal, in interaction with Variety, opened up about directing All We Imagine as Light. She shared, "I was interested in women who come to a different place to work and be financially independent. And it was something that I had seen growing up in a family of a lot of women, and also the ideas that we have, that financial freedom can in some way, give us some kind of autonomy, in India it's more complicated than that. This is something that I wanted to explore in the film, when does one truly have that autonomy for our personal desires and choices.” The fiction film follows two nurses (Kani Kusruti and Divya Prabha) from Kerala, southern India, who are roommates in Mumbai. A trip to a beach town allows them to find a space for their desires to manifest.

The film marks Kapadia’s first outing as a feature film director. The filmmaker has previously won 'le prix du documentaire' for Best Documentary for A Night of Knowing Nothing at Cannes. All That We Imagine As Light is the first Indian film to compete for the Palme d’Or at the coveted Cannes Film Festival in 30 years.
