À propos du film
In a small Adivasi village, a girl named Kuili secured first rank in her district in a Talent Search Examination. However, a person in the village had been seriously ill for a long time. Seeking an explanation for the illness, the villagers approached a Tantrik, who told them that Kuili`s parents were keeping a witch, and that this was the reason behind the person’s prolonged illness. A few days later, the sick person died. Without questioning the truth of the Tantrik’s claims, the villagers brutally murdered Kuili`s parents in front of her. Because of a single superstition, two innocent lives were lost, and Kuili`s bright future was shattered before her very eyes.
