Raghunath, a humble villager, lost his beloved daughter during a devastating flood in Assam. The tragedy occurred because there was no bridge for her to safely reach the school during the flood. This loss drained the colour from his life, leaving him haunted by the memories of his deceased daughter. Desperate for a new beginning and a better future for his village, Raghunath dreams of a developed community where no child would die due to such infrastructural shortcomings.

Driven by this vision, Raghunath devises a bold plan. He starts a rumour that he has discovered an ancient statue of a god at his home, hoping this will draw the attention of the government and the media to his village. He believes that the ensuing interest will lead to the construction of a temple. He further hopes that the presence of a temple will necessitate the development of essential infrastructure, including a school and a bridge.

However, as Raghunath’s plan unfolds, he grapples with a profound internal conflict. Can he truly deceive himself into believing that this elaborate scheme is the only way to achieve his dreams? Or is there a more honest path to securing the safety and prosperity of his village?
