About the Film: In a tribal community a young man, Bheru, is struggling to make the family farm work and provide alongside his father to help his ailing mother. Due to a lack of electricity in their home several marriage proposals fall through bringing a sense of shame on the family as well as mounting debts. Confiding in his best friend he musters the confidence to start work and heads into the city where he experiences solar power. He begins his quest to bring electricity to his desolate home.

About the Filmmaker: Jigar Nagda is a postgraduate in Mass Communication from Mumbai
University. At the age of 20, he attended an Asian film festival, which sparked his love and passion for filmmaking. For the past 9 years, he has been working in the Indian film industry as an assistant and associate director, learning from some of the best talents including Anurag Kashyap, Onir, Manish Gupta, and Wilson Luis. Jigar's passion for travel led him to embark on an India tour with just one rupee, an experience that had a profound impact on his life and way of thinking. Upon completing this journey, he decided to pursue his dream of making his own film. Anurag Kashyap deeply influenced Jigar's perspective on filmmaking...the belief that, if you don't find a producer, you should stand up for yourself and the world will support you, became Jigar's biggest motivation in making his film.
