Story
A story of forbidden love and unwavering will
Renuka flees from a brothel in Delhi in the middle of the night, takes on the name of a Hindu goddess and goes into hiding in a community of sex workers in northern India. There she meets Devika, who is much younger and dreams of becoming a rapper. However, she is condemned to continue the tradition of her caste as a prostitute.
A tender but forbidden romance develops between Renuka and Devika – and conflict is inevitable. The two women overcome huge hurdles and make great sacrifices on their journey to freedom. When their situation leaves them no choice, murder is also a means of defence.
This suspense-packed thriller shows people on the margins of society and provides an insight into a part of Indian society.
Anasuya Sengupta received the Best Actress Award at Cannes for her performance in this film.
Gabriel Lobos is nominated for the Swiss Film Prize for Best Cinematography.
