In 2019, the Indian government announced the Citizenship Amendment Act, causing disagreement among political parties. In a small town called Sindhanur in Karnataka, a Bengali Refugee Camp (RH2) celebrates the news, much to the puzzlement of a young journalist who becomes intrigued by the celebration. As she delves deeper into their reasons for rejoicing, the story takes us back to August 16, 1946 - Direct Action Day. The British government declared plans to transfer power to India, but the Muslim League demanded a separate nation for Muslims - Pakistan. This ignited violent communal clashes throughout Bengal and Calcutta under the leadership of Suhrawardy, Bengal's Prime Minister. We witness this tumultuous day through the eyes of a Hindu family - a couple and their two young daughters - as they are exposed to massacres, bloodshed, and unspeakable atrocities against Hindus in the name of Pakistan.
