See the films the platforms disagree about most →Based on a true 1959 case, a decorated naval officer, Rustom Pavri, returns from sea to find his wife having an affair. He confronts the other man and shoots him three times, then surrenders to the police. His trial becomes a national sensation, as his motives and the truth behind the crime are far more complex than they appear.
