"Alms for a Blind Horse" chronicles a day in the life of a Dalit Sikh family in rural Punjab as they face the destruction of their village. While elderly father (Mal Singh) joins his community to demand justice from the landlords responsible, his son Melu (Samuel John), a rickshaw driver in the city faces an existential crisis. Told through dark tones and sparse dialogue, the film is a meditative reflection on the fears, unease and resilience of a people trapped in a seemingly endless night.
