Newton Kumar, a principled but naive election officer, arrives in a conflict-ridden mountain district to conduct a local polling process. The law-and-order setting collides with bureaucratic inertia, local feuds, and stubborn rules. Through deadpan humor and restrained performances, the film tracks how integrity clashes with reality as a simple electoral duty becomes a meditation on democracy, governance, and human resilience. Its minimalist style, stark landscapes, and measured pacing amplify the moral stakes without sentimentality.
