The film is quiet in its treatment and approach, but loud and unmissable in the comment it wants to make. The message, intrinsic to the core of the film, is a very relevant one - education of children, especially of young girls. The story opens on a note which reiterates how it is same as freedom, along with being a basic right.

Varsha is an obedient, docile girl who helps her mother stitch clothes. Despite sharing with her family the desire to continue with her studies, her parents have finalised other plans for her. Consequently, she has chosen to take her fate into her own hands. The film is notable in the visual narrative it constructs to share this story and exhibits potential in the little nuances and details it endeavours to bring within its fold.
