Four friends from Calcutta who have very different personalities make a holiday excursion into the country, to a tiny village in the state of Bihar where they set themselves up in a bungalow. A series of minor events, all connected to their respective reactions to their new environment, reveals their characters more deeply.

VIBE

A quiet, contemplative journey into the heart of friendship and self-discovery. It feels like a long, hazy summer afternoon, where subtle shifts in scenery reveal deeper truths about the bonds between men.
