Scalpel-sharp and uncompromising, Shonali Bose's sensational debut feature follows Amu, an Indian-American woman (Konkana Sen Sharma), as she journeys into the heart of her native Delhi to investigate her origins, with the help of a young man intrigued both by Amu and her search. But the deeper they plumb, the more shocking and unbelievable their discoveries become as Amu finds that the thread of her own past is woven within the fabric of a terrible national tragedy.
