Since the film deals with sensitive subjects, the director drew upon personal experiences to convey the spirit of the script. S/he drew from his/her own life for much of the dialogue, and reworked them constantly to make them conversational yet powerful and dignified. At the script level, s/he rearranged the linearity of the narrative so that the conversations would flow seamlessly for a more fluid storytelling. Since performances were key, s/he rehearsed extensively with the cast before the shoot to make them heartfelt and realistic. Even the spaces were selected based on the backstories created for the characters – one couple is in a public space, as per convention, another in the privacy of their kitchen, and a third in the intimacy of their car. At the same time, the director created different tonalities of each conversation to ensure that each character felt respected and empowered in their own way
