Newton
A wry, humanistic comedy-drama about a principled bureaucrat's quixotic struggle to uphold democratic ideals amid institutional indifference and armed conflict in rural India.
A government clerk on election duty in a conflict-ridden jungle of Central India tries his best to conduct free and fair voting despite the apathy of security forces and the looming fear of guerrilla attacks by communist rebels.
