Official United Kingdom submission, 2025 Academy Awards. Santosh, newly widowed and desperate to support herself, accepts an opportunity to inherit her husband’s job as a police officer in rural India. Taken under the wing of Sharma, a charismatic and commanding older female inspector, Santosh begins an investigation into a low-caste girl’s brutal murder that plunges her into a world of crime and corruption, forcing her to confront not only the brokenness of the system around her, but her place within it.
