Told by a human rights activist, the film tells of four women, Indu, Zarina, Shahnaz and Anju, who have suffered displacement in the conflict-ridden State of Jammu and Kashmir. These were originally recorded as Recorded as testimonials for the South Asia Court of Women (Dhaka, August 2003). They are now used by the film to explore the lives of each woman as she relates the circumstances leading to her rootlessness, and reveals an important dimension of the Kashmir conflict, raising questions about patriarchal values and power, communal identities, patriotism and war.
