The film is about Safia, a devout Muslim woman from Bhopal who joins a program for training women as Qazis. The film delves into the tensions and negotiations that mark her journey as she treads into a territory hitherto uncharted for women. While following Safia, the film also archives Muslim women’s movement in India against an arbitrary oppressive practice. How do these individual journeys merge with the collective voice of Muslim women’s movement in a country whose socio-political scenario is increasingly becoming more volatile?
