The Film is about the pre-monsoon period in Rajasthan (India) - a cusp between the extreme summers and the wet season. Set broadly in the state’s Aravali hill ranges - amidst semi-arid jungles, rocky outcrops and mesmerizing cultural heritage, the film showcases life in the region during this season - its biodiversity including creatures that are truly wild in their essence, as well as those that co-exist with people - and shows how owing to the perception and behavior, each species adapts and survives. Then the monsoons finally arrive, ushering in a change as one season gradually gives way to the next.
