I, Poppy

Vivek Chaudhary / India, France / 2025 / 82 min.

Language version: OmeU

Two worlds collide in rural India: Vardibai secures her family's survival by growing opium poppies, while her son Mangilal challenges a corrupt system. When his research leads to the arrest of high-ranking officials from the drug authorities, the state responds with countermeasures and revokes the family's cultivation license. What begins as a fight against corruption becomes an existential endurance test and reveals how closely economic dependence and institutional power are linked.
