Synopsis: Somi is pregnant with her second child. A girl, she hopes. Together with her husband she prepares for this new phase of their parenthood. It means that their son has to go to school, but as an ex-Naxalite that is tough to achieve in contemporary India, where people like them are third-rate citizens. They lack the certificates and an opaque bureaucratic process doesn't help. A Rifle and a Bag is an impressive documentary about people forced to give up their ideals to be able to work on their future.

Critics' reviews

"The film is cool and crisply shot and lit; a calm and cerebral look at marginalised lives (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
