The Hindi drama, ‘The Rapist’ directed by Aparna Sen, recently had its premiere at the International Film Festival of Kerala.

The film, which marks the reunion of the mother-daughter duo of Aparna Sen and Konkana Sensharma, deals with the complex themes of crime, punishment and restorative justice through the prism of class dynamics.

It chronicles the journey of three protagonists and how their lives get intertwined because of one horrific incident. The Rapist is an unflinching, uncompromising portrait of sexual violence, its aftermath, and the socio-psychological fallout for both the survivors and perpetrators of the crime.
