Both a love letter to the city of Rome and an outcry for female emancipation, Every Inch of My Being (Roam Rome Mein) relies on dreams and fantasies to deepen and complicate the free-wheeling story of how old-school chauvinist Raj (played by popular Indian star Nawazuddin Siddiqui) loses his bearings when his 32-year-old little sister (Tannishtha Chatterjee) vanishes during a visit to Rome.Though the audience is often left as puzzled as Raj about what’s real and what’s not, it’s clear that his search leads to a sea change in his machismo. That’s the real payoff ...

Actress-turned-filmmaker Tannishtha Chatterjee, who was quite determined to shoot her debut film "Roam Rome Mein" in Rome, says that the city plays an important role in the story, as the narrative revolves around feminism.
"I had to go to Rome to shoot the film. That was a fact I knew from the beginning, even though I had no budget initially. My film looks at the city of Rome from a different angle because, we must not forget, Rome is the city where the genesis of modern feminism started. I had to go and shoot the film there for that historical context, because feminism is a part of my narrative. The city of Rome plays a character in the film,"
Tannishtha told a publication.

National Award-winning actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui has worked with several talented female filmmakers in his career. Nandita Das called the shots in "Firaaq" and "Manto", Reema Kagti directed "Talaash" and, recently, Tannishtha Chatterjee wielded the megaphone in the upcoming "Roam Rome Mein". Siddiqui says as an actor he does not differentiate between talents based on gender.
"When I work with a filmmaker, I am not concerned about the gender of the storyteller. For me, whether it is Nandita or Tannishtha, they are talented storytellers. They came to me with a vision and I am participating in telling their stories on screen. For me, what matters the most is creativity, and I have to be on the same wavelength with the director. Talent should not be celebrated on the basis of gender. So, when Tannishtha was directing me, not for a single moment did I feel that a woman was giving direction.

Acclaimed actor Tannishtha Chatterjee whose credits include “Brick Lane,” “Anna Karenina,” “Lion,” and “Parched,” makes her directorial debut with “Roam Rome Mein.” The film had its premiere at Busan’s ‘A Window on Asian Cinema’ strand.
In the film, an Indian man goes to Rome looking for his missing sister and in the process discovers the real her, his own deep rooted patriarchal ideas, and the reasons why his sister might have wanted to free herself from their oppressive family structure.
“There was an incident that happened in Venice a few years back when I went there for the festival,” Chatterjee told Variety. “I met an old man who told me about his missing daughter. But that experience was also kind of surreal. Till date, I am not quite sure whether it really happened or more precisely what really happened. That was the starting point of the idea.”
