Two young siblings living in the shadow of disgrace traverse the path of desires. She is in search of love that could give her the strength to bear anything. He is trying to be like other boys his age and to stand up for himself. But the more they wriggle, the more the darkness seems to engulf them. She is blamed for her father’s death. He is then supposed to salvage the ‘pride’ of the family.Set in a small town of Punjab in India at the turn of the millennium, The Shreds of Character treads the uneven moral ground that breeds frustration, anger and hatred. It explores irony of the biased moral code ‘that has established woman's situation in a form that is a source of torment for both sexes’, as famously said by Simone de Beauvoir, the French social theorist.
