In taut, north India-set thriller Santosh, a housewife-turned-cop is sucked into a high-profile case that has polarised the local community.

In a community where casteism and misogyny are an inextricable part of life, a government scheme sees newly widowed Santosh inherit her husband’s job as a police constable in the rural badlands of Northern India. When a girl is murdered, Santosh is pulled into the investigation by charismatic feminist inspector Sharma, forcing her to navigate the complex web of social hierarchies in the process.

Santosh is the feature-film debut of writer-director Sandhya Suri, having previously worked on documentaries including I For India and Around India With A Movie Camera.
