The short documentary introduces us to a khadi organization that began in 1950. It gives us a glimpse of a part of India’s very own handloom industry that, after being invigorated with a new life in the twentieth century, has stood the test of time all these decades later. <br><br> 
The documentary further presents to us the workers of this specific organization which have been associated with it for as long as twenty years, some even having served different posts of president and director. The visuals conjure hypnotic images of the act of weaving as the threads go around the loom. The process is further completed with colors and dyes. While sarees and shawls continue to be created day in and day out, the narrative of the film shares the technical aspects of these processes, along with the faces behind them, with the viewer.

The film endeavours to efficiently utilise its limited resources to make chills run down your spine. Shot primarily within the boundaries of found footage, the narrative is an experience shared between two boys. As one holds the camera and reluctantly follows his partner around, the other leads their way into a haunted building. <br><br> The frames are deliberately kept partly lit to further spook the viewer. However, they could have benefited from better control on light. Once the two characters find themselves in the heart of their destination, will they be prepared for what comes their way?
