However, complications arise as her tribe’s hatred towards her lover forces her to come to a decision that would change her life forever....

The extended summer-monsoon season is already far better looking than the dismal summer that saw Hollywood go down with the fever of sequels and rehashes, just as ‘Toy Story 4’ and the seventh instalment in the ‘Conjuring’ universe that hit theatres this week rekindled some hope for distributors and producers.
