About

Student Nivedita finds an old photo revealing that her professor Saraswati, who lectures on cultural identity, is white, triggering a scandal.

Nivedita Anand (Amanda Babaei Vieira) is a student and the podcaster behind Identitti. When she finds an old photograph of her professor Saraswati (Stephanie Eidt), it reveals that the celebrated academic, who lectures on cultural identity and presents herself as a Person of Color, is white. The image spreads on social media, and the University of Düsseldorf is in the headlines.

While the press and online public call for Saraswati's dismissal, Nivedita looks into the reasons behind the professor's long-standing deception. Along the way she encounters Kaali (Sabrina Setlur), her own alter ego, and is drawn into a political and personal conflict that makes her question not only Saraswati's identity but her own.
