Plot

Sohra Bridge tells the story of a daughter who embarks on a journey across the remote expanses of North-East India, looking for her father. She finds herself drawn towards a complex labyrinth of memory and imagination. The film conjures up a magical reality where real gives way to the surreal, bloodshed to poetry, memory to the imaginary and vice versa.
