Landlord

<p>Set in rural Karnataka in the 1980s, Landlord follows Rachayya, a quiet and idealistic labourer who lives with his wife Ningavva and daughter Bhagya, aspiring for dignity and a small piece of land of his own. His village, however, is firmly controlled by Sanna Dhani, an influential landlord whose authority extends across land ownership, local politics and social hierarchy. Though Rachayya believes in lawful change and hopes institutions will protect the weak, he increasingly witnesses the exploitation, caste?based oppression and fear that govern daily life under Dhani’s rule.</p>
