A group of young Bihu performers from Upper Assam travel to perform in Borpeta, a place in Lower Assam. Here they encounter the traditional Satriya culture started by Shrimata Sankar Deva. So influenced are they by this new art form that they learn it before returning to their villages. On their way back, the Bihu artistes discuss several incidents that happened along their journey and that had touched them in different ways, each one teaching them different lessons about life. The journey they make, therefore, helps them understand the varying facets of human existence as it moves between love and compassion, anger and competition, forgiveness and tolerance. |
