Assi

<p>Parima is a Malayali school teacher living in Delhi with her husband Vinay and their young son, leading a modest but content middle?class life. One night while returning home from a staff gathering, she is abducted near a metro station by five young men in a car, who brutally gang?rape her for hours, film parts of the assault, and then dump her on a railway track, assuming she will die. Severely injured, half?clothed, and bleeding, Parima is discovered by a passerby and rushed to the hospital, where she survives but is left with deep physical and psychological trauma. Her assault quickly becomes a national news story, framed as yet another horrific Delhi rape case, and the film repeatedly reminds viewers that the title “Assi” refers to the statistic of roughly 80 reported rapes a day in India.</p>
