Aasia, a Muslim woman, lives with her 11-year old daughter and mother-in-law since her husband went missing 7 years ago after the Indian army took him away. She attempts to register her husband as dead, but a corrupt government official keeps turning down her request, making demands instead.
An ode to the plight and resilience of women, this minimalist drama puts a spotlight on state-manifested violence. The poetically-shot arid landscape of the Kargil region becomes an evocative metaphor for the harrowing quality of people’s daily experiences in a heavily militarized conflict zone.
