Synopsis

After the Muslim man he wrongly captured escapes, a police informer returns to his village, where his toxic ex-lover, a wealthy landowner, awaits. A stranger in his own home, he finds his childhood friend, a defiant woman, rallying landless farm labourers to reclaim the earth. When the man he had captured arrives searching for him, a revolution erupts—of queer love, caste resistance, and labour.
