A gently observant comedy-drama about four friends on a countryside holiday, where minor incidents and contrasting personalities reveal character and social tensions beneath the surface.

Four friends from Calcutta who have very different personalities make a holiday excursion into the country, to a tiny village in the state of Bihar where they set themselves up in a bungalow. A series of minor events, all connected to their respective reactions to their new environment, reveals their characters more deeply.
