An Indian widow inherits her late husband's job and becomes a police officer.

CINEMA | DRAMA

Santosh is just 28 years old when her husband is killed in a riot. Through a program of the Indian government, she is bequeathed his post in the provincial police. The experienced policewoman Sharma takes her under her wing and together they begin to investigate the murder of a girl from a lower caste. Santosh is confronted with the harsh reality of patriarchal power structures, in which corruption and arbitrariness, but also the fearful silence of the victims' families are the order of the day. Her mentor shows her how she can assert herself as a woman in this system. But at what price?
