Synopsis

A daring reporter 'Sarah' (Asia Argento) interviews a Bangladeshi Londoner named 'Karim' (Anupam Kher) on his deathbed, who finally shares his account four decades later. Through his testimony, Sarah steps back in time to when the young Karim fell in love with Hindu Asha and was separated from his sweetheart by the outbreak of war. Forced to take up arms as a freedom fighter, Karim faces agonising moral dilemmas as he diligently serves his country.
