Story

Synopsis

A student named Nivedita finds an old photo of her professor and discovers the latter had been living a lie. Saraswati, of all people — a woman of color who lectures on cultural identity — is in fact white. While the media and online community whip up a frenzy, Nivedita faces a political and personal dilemma as she tries to find out Saraswati's motive.
