The anticipation of the legal outcome adds to the stress and hinders Rachita’s work. She seeks advice and support from like-minded people eager to make their voices heard. The film explores Rachita’s inner world and her creative expression, depicting a dystopian tale where freedom of expression is rapidly being eroded.
