In a small Indian village, a closeted young man finds himself trapped in a recurring day, forced to relive a deadly confrontation with a homophobic police officer. Each time the day begins again, he has another chance to confront what happened and try to change his fate.

Directed by Adiraj Singh, Khatte Anar is an independent short film that uses a time-loop narrative to explore queer identity, violence and the struggle to escape an outcome that seems inevitable.

The short film will screen before Flowers of Acacia.
