Fiery, naive, unconventional, silly - Ria Rathore is one eighteen-year-old who has strutted through her well - heeled life brimming with confidence. In a conservative city like Ahmedabad she often ran the risk of being branded `improper’. With a father who spoils her silly, Ria always got what she wanted until she comes across Radha Chaterjee, her English professor at Spencer College… A firebrand intellectual and a free spirit, Radha Chatterjee is just the person who is unaffected by Ria’s many wiles and does not give her the due attention she craves. Captivated by her enigmatic professor, Ria loses interest in her friends and college till fate rolls out the dice one afternoon and changes the course of her otherwise predictable life. As she heads out on this untrodden path, she experiences the many facets of life - love, heartbreak and realization. One Afternoon is a poignant bildungsroman of a bratty teenager’s journey to womanhood.
