Somi and her husband met and fell in love while fighting alongside the Naxalites, a communist guerrilla group that has been fighting since the ’60s for the rights of the tribal communities of India. After a decade of armed struggle, the couple deserted the movement and surrendered to the police. Ever since, they have been striving to forge a new identity, educate their two children, and eventually reconcile their violent past with the fervent desire to integrate into the hostile Indian society.
