SYNOPSIS
In a quaint Maharashtrian village, a family of mango farmers stares at an uncertain future as an ambitious bullet train project threatens their ancestral mango farm and way of life. Vithu, a curious and observant seven-year-old watches helplessly as his family fractures under the weight of displacement. Since the loss of Ajjoba (grandfather), the family’s patriarch and former leader of the farmer protests, grief has divided them. Baba (Vithu’s father), is resolutely optimistic, believing that starting anew in a city is their best chance. While Kaka, his uncle, is determined to preserve the family’s farming legacy, causing an irreparable rift. Amid this brewing conflict, Vithu’s quiet sorrow goes unnoticed as he feels distanced from their shared loss. He decides to take matters into his own hands. Days before eviction, he goes missing. A frantic search ensues. When found, they discover a tunnel he has been digging to divert the bullet train underground to save their beloved farm. His innocent determination compels the family to confront their grief, dissolve barriers, and foster an understanding. In the end, the family comes together to transplant Ajjoba’s cherished first mango tree, honoring their past while embracing the future and preserving a piece of their legacy amid inevitable change.
