Three interconnected stories set in present-day Punjab masterfully capture the inherited grief and displacement that mark the modern legacy of the 1947 partition, when British India was divided into India and Pakistan.

Distinguished Indian thespian Naseeruddin Shah stars as Rashid Ali, a Punjabi Muslim man who returns to his birthplace in Punjab, a hometown he only knew pre-partition, after spending a lifetime in England. Thought-provoking, intelligent, and meditative, Rehmat celebrates ordinary people who rise above forces determined to separate them.
