Coping with the recent death of his father, 11-year-old Chinu moves to a small Konkan town from a big city because of his mother’s job transfer. He finds it difficult to adjust to the new place and finds himself alienated and reluctant to open up to its people. Both Chinu and his mother grapple with their own individual struggles and anxieties in the new town. But in the process, they emerge enriched and healed from their new-found friendships and recent experiences.

We acknowledge the continuing connection to land, waters and communities. We also pay our respects to Elders, past and emerging.
