Body of Work

An only son in a family disappears, and a vicious circle of fear and blind faith begins. A desperate grandmother needs a boy in the family to attain salvation after death ... A young daughter-in-law is in anguish because her husband refuses to consummate their marriage. A witch-hunt is launched against the innocent wife of a Dalit soldier serving on the front; childless, she lives alone after the death of her father-in-law, and is accused of casting a spell on the village children. The village head is ready to manipulate the subtle power politics between the two communities. An old woman tries to break the waters of fear by her compassion and hope. Possession speaks of the battle between faith and fear.
