Mientras los árboles susurran historias de dioses y antepasados, varios habitantes de un pequeño pueblo de los Ghats occidentales hablan. Poco a poco, se despliega una historia que abarca a toda la humanidad y su relación simbiótica con la naturaleza. El bosque resulta ser un puente entre el presente y el pasado.
As whispering trees pass on stories of gods and ancestors, various inhabitants of a small village in Western Ghats speak. Gradually, a story unfolds that encompasses all of humanity and its symbiotic relationship to nature. Woods turn out to form a bridge between present and past.
