Inde post-coloniale. Umber Singh, un patriarche sikh, se voit contraint de fuir son village natal devant le nettoyage ethnique qui suit la partition de l’Inde et du Pakistan en 1947. Après avoir eu 4 filles, il est déterminé à élever comme un fils Kanwar son dernier enfant, et à cacher son véritable sexe à tout le monde. Mais quand Umber marie Kanwar à Nelli, une fille de plus basse caste, tous trois ont à faire face à la vérité de leur identité et des limites de leur volonté.

A city with a history of heritage, myth and superstition. A passionate architect with strong but delusional ideas about love and life. A Czech gypsy girl searching for her identity and true love. Add to the drama of a mean friend you can’t do without and cannot trust either. The conflict of these complex characters is further heightened with illusions of someone who is there but at the same time not there- what you see is not true? or is the truth, what you not see? All of the above are thrown together in a very unique and unusual situation where you do not know what to believe and what to disbelieve.
