Body of Work

Set in the beautiful Kashmir valley, Here is a love story betwe.en an Indian army captain and a Kashmiri girl. Captain Aman, posted in the bullet-ridden valley, falls in love with a local girl, Adaa. The two face disapproval from her family and from society, apart from threats from the militants since their diktat - which debars local women from having any relationship with an 'Indian' - is violated. The young hearts fight for what is most natural, but what is wrongfully denied them. The call of duty takes Aman far away from Adaa. The Kashmir valley gets foggier - and then, unexpectedly, there is an attack on the family, a court martial, a near-death experience, a hostage situation, and a nation challenged. Here shocks you and makes you wonder. It questions the layman, the militant and the government and the interplay of all these forces.
