Mi Amor is the sixth film from Suman Ghosh, who is well-known to BIFF. By focusing on the gap between the rich and the poor as well as the conflicts between generations, his previous films set out to discover the value of universal humanism through social issues in India. This film, however, questions the material image of modern society by exploring a man and woman's desire to deviate from a tedious life in the city of Miami. Middle-class Riju works in banking. He professes to believe that the fundamental values of a family are love and faith, but he secretly dreams of meeting unknown women through a chatroom app recommended by his colleague. Riju meets Sree this way, but she avoids his sexual advances, claiming that she is happy with her husband and family. However, she also leaves room for an intimate relationship by continuing to meet him. Their meetings are marked with words and behavior that stretch the imagination, with tension created through the conflict between sexual desire and moral responsibility.
