A dark, emotionally harrowing historical drama depicting the persecution and displacement of Kashmiri Pandits in 1990s Kashmir, built on graphic depictions of violence and communal tragedy.

Based on a true tragedy, the emotionally triggering film sheds light on the plight of Kashmiri Pandits (Hindus), a religious minority in the 1990s Kashmir valley, who were compelled to flee their homes by the Islamic militants.
