About

A retired teacher in Haryana turns to an outlawed ritual after his cow gives birth to a stillborn calf.

In a village in Haryana, a retired teacher faces a cow that has given birth to a stillborn calf. The world around him is changing: urbanization is slowly erasing the rural life around him, and winter mist hangs over the fields. He turns to a dubious traditional practice, an outlawed ritual: making a calf doll from the body of the stillborn calf. The film is set in rural India. The cast includes Mst. Satbir Singh Hooda, Chameli Devi, Dheeraj Kumar, Mukesh Bhati and Tau Leelu Raam.
