Selector’s Statement

“The film focuses on rape cases during the Nepal civil war, highlighting a strong woman who leads the justice movement. As the protagonist confronts her own trauma and that of others, the film reveals the long and difficult road ahead for justice. Deeply moving, it blends anger and sadness while addressing survivors' struggles, women's rights, and political turmoil. The film transcends storytelling, serving as a movement and achieving its impact through well-executed narrative, visuals, and overall direction.”
