A retaliation for Indian Prime Minister Indira Ghandi, who was assassinated by her two Sikh bodyguards, the anti-Sikh riots of 1984 led to the deaths of thousands of Sikhs in India. Director Gurvinder Singh (Alms of the Blind Horse, HKAFF 2011) delves into the fear and paranoia of the period in his low-key Punjabi- language drama based on two short stories by Waryam Singh Sandhu. Two Hindu men try to get to Armitsar by sneaking into the security compartment of a late-night freight train. While trapped in the compartment with several Sikh stowaways, one of the men recalls an incident in his village involving a man who was caught in the conflict between Sikh militants and the Indian military because of his family dog.
