A newly appointed female police officer is handed a murder case and has to confront a corrupt, sexist police force in a gripping Indian crime drama.
The young widow Santosh is offered her late husband's job as a police officer in northern India through a government program. She soon finds herself drawn into a high-profile murder investigation after a 15-year-old girl from a lower caste is raped and thrown into a well. By her side is an experienced, feminist female officer whose main goal is to quickly identify and convict the perpetrator, rather than uncover the deeper truth. The United Kingdom's Oscar entry in the Best International Feature Film category is a powerful and thought-provoking feature debut about morality, truth, and justice, offering a different portrayal of women's circumstances in contemporary India.
