About Night Theater
A surgeon fleeing scandal takes charge of an underfunded clinic in rural India, where corruption and scarcity have made him deeply cynical. One night, a murdered teacher, his pregnant wife and their son arrive with an extraordinary offer: if he can mend their wounds before dawn, they may live again. The impossible operation becomes a tense meditation on medicine, morality, death and the value of a second chance.
