Description

Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 2023 Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles.

When the sole actress in an all-male theater troupe claims she was molested at an after party, the other members convene to discuss whether to expel the accused. But what starts out as a straight-forward decision threatens to fracture the group as doubts, secrets and hidden agendas bubble to the surface.

First-time writer-director Anand Ekarshi developed this chamber drama with actors from his own theater group, constructing a narrative filled with surprising twists and a building to a powerful climax.
