The Ink-Stained Hand and the Missing Thumb (2026)
If the world had an edge, it might look something like the remote corner of northern India where Santosh and Rajji live, collecting highway tolls in dilapidated booths. Work and endless waiting are blurred together. Bound by the power of love, but also by the need to constantly move around in search of work, they dream of the happiness that awaits them in a new place⦠until one day, a sudden tragedy turns their lives upside down.
