Drama

Akbar, 18, has been held in a rehabilitation centre for committing murder at the age of sixteen. Now, Akbar is transferred to prison to await the day of his execution. A’la, a friend of Akbar, tries desperately to gain the consent of Akbar’s plaintiff so as to stop the execution.

VIBE

A stark, unflinching look at the consequences of violence and the crushing weight of fate. This drama feels heavy, with a quiet intensity that lingers long after the credits roll, exploring the fragile hope for redemption.
