The story revolves around that timeless and controversial concept of power.  The story is a powerful and graphic representation of power and its ability to corrupt.
The movie set in a remote and parched village in India sometime in the future serves as a fitting metaphor to the current reality of this world. That reality is one which tells us that power rests with those who control the resources and that power becomes the basis of how they interact with the greater world.
The story revolves around three central characters. The Thakur who is the head of the village and has been the center of power until that power is threatened by a village woman Jeevni and nine year old son Manka. That balance has shifted when the most precious resource in the village - water- comes from the well that Jeevni’s husband had dug and that had led to his death at the hands of Thakur.  The power seems to be further reinforced what with the only firearm also being in the possession of Jeevni.

In Jeevni and Manka we see the reflection of the vast mass of humanity which survives on hope that someday they will be powerful enough to avenge the injustice done to it. But in so doing do they become the oppressors themselves?
The story is a powerful rendition of our own secret fantasy of possessing power and being the harbinger of divine justice. The story is a moving description of our helplessness in the face of awareness of the illusion of power.
The story is one that is told over and over again everywhere and yet is still waiting to be told.
