Synopsis

A grandmother tells a story to her grandson about the origins of their remote indigenous village in the Western Ghats of Maharashtra. As the mysterious morning slowly unfolds, spirits wander in the forest and dark secrets buried in time slowly emerge. The trees whisper tales of the Gods and the ancestors. They say that you don’t die. Your spirit assimilates into the jungle. And while civilization, its beliefs, and the cycle of life, death, and rebirth continues, the forest stands eternal. A bridge between the old and the new.
