Synopsis

Confronted by the sudden, brutal murder of his wife, his own history of violence, and a system that wants him crushed at any cost, immigrant labourer Bala (aka Dasru) flees with his infant daughter, Joram, from a metropolis to his erstwhile home in the distant forests, only to negotiate their survival with a bloody past he mistakenly thought had been left behind for good.
