This gripping, unsettling tale follows a medical school lecturer who witnesses the sexual assault of one of her students. The film traces her struggle to process the incident as she embarks on an unrelenting quest to hold the perpetrator, a male colleague, to account, all the while facing her own challenges with her job and as a mother. An unsteady handheld camera infuses a restlessness and growing intensity throughout the film with an outstanding lead performance by Azmeri Haque Badho. The film premiered at Cannes Film Festival 2021.
