Years before he ever set foot on a film set, Jeethu Joseph heard a story from a friend. It was about two families: a boy, a girl, a relationship that unraveled into a police case. Both families had done something right. Both had done something wrong. And nobody in the room could decide whose side to take.

The question lodged somewhere in Joseph’s mind and stayed there. What would happen if you put an audience in that same position? What would they do when there was no clean side to choose?
