Shiva, an audio installation artist, visits the coal mines of Eastern India, plagued by depleting natural resources and permanent haunting sights of fire. Overwhelmed by the colossal scale and rhythm of sounds, he succumbs to the highly complex socio-political system. Moving to a tribal village in the forest, he questions his urban gaze and notion of self. Water, as an element, forms the labyrinth of his quest for truth.
