What happens

Kalichaat is a 70-minute 2018 Indian feature film, set in the Malwa-Nimar region of Western Madhya Pradesh. It follows the hurdles of an Indian farmer in hopes of giving his family a better life. The story transforms into a labyrinth of complex government procedures and a system promoting hopelessness among the "providers of society" such as the farmer. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
