Background
In 2019, Odisha (India), often called the land of cyclones was hit by Cyclone Fani, one of the worst to have hit South Asia in decades. A record 1.2 million people were evacuated in 24 hours, which is claimed to be the biggest human evacuation in history. The Category 4 cyclone, wreaked havoc in the coastal belt of Odisha with wind speeds of over 250 kmph (155 mph) at the time of landfall. Many coastal villages were wiped off completely. Such was the magnitude that over 10 million trees were uprooted, as per media reports.

About the Film
The film is set in the aftermath of Cyclone Fani, in devastated coastal villages of Odisha. A photographer, in greed of success, captures the devastation. He is indifferent to the suffering of people, and is focused only on the benefits he can extract out of the calamity. A villager, who happened to return from a rescue camp after the cyclone, finds his home shattered. He picks up his memories from the ruins and tries to carry them along, in a hope of reaching a safer land. Another young character Daya, a devotee of God, tries to explain to people that it's all God's will and they must not cry for their losses. He insists on people to laugh and even goes on to an extremes when an elderly man refuses to do so. On the other hand, a lady who lost her son to the cyclone leaves her village and finds solace in nature. These characters, apparently independent of each other, find relevance and relation in the context of their personal losses.
