Synopsis

When four or five children lose a friend and cannot find their way, another friend comes to help. But due to her parents’ lack of understanding, she has to go away. In our surroundings, there are few minds that can recognize and encourage growing sensitivities. Even in such an environment, these children manage to create conditions that support their dreams and try to bring their friend back. In this situation, though they face disappointment, they do not give up on their dreams. Along with reaching their goal, they succeed—at least to some extent—in changing the minds of the people around them.

The film also questions how badly our surrounding environment is deteriorating—along with our health, minds, and the true development of children—without parents even realizing it. It shows the impact of the negative changes in our surroundings on our homes, agriculture, and the general public. It reflects on how our education system is changing the mindset of villages to that of cities, how truth-tellers in every era are seen as odd or crazy, and how those who challenge society’s negativity are suppressed. The movie raises many such questions.

The Producer Harisha H Siddappa will be present for a post screening discussion.
