Following a divorce, Nehma, an Adivasi woman from the Oraon tribe, returns to her ancestral village with her young children. She finds work as a 'data labeller,' training artificial intelligence to identify objects in images and videos. Observing the AI’s learning process, Nehma envisions a connection, hoping it will see the world as she does, a longing she also feels for her son, Dhaanu.

Nehma, Sonal Madhushankar, returns to her Oraon community in a Jharkhand village from Ranchi, bringing along her daughter Dhaanu and her infant son Guntu after the breakdown of her “dhuku” marriage. To help support her family, she takes a job at a local data-labelling centre, where workers annotate images and videos to train international AI systems. As she settles into this routine, she begins to notice a troubling gap: the rigid categories demanded by the AI model clash with the ecological wisdom and lived knowledge of her community, revealing how algorithmic labels can oversimplify complex reality.
