    • Synopsis
    • Pedro is a middle-aged electrician living with his mother and his brother’s
      family in a remote village nestled in the thick forests of the Western Ghats.
      One monsoon night accidentally kills a cow that belongs to his landlord
      Hegde. Sensing trouble, Pedro leaves town. Hell breaks loose in the village.
      Filled with anxiety, Pedro has no way but to return. He ultimately joins his
      former employer Raju, mending power lines in the forest. The village,
      unable to accept a man who’s committed the disgraceful act, responds with
      coldness.
