SYNOPSIS

[EN] Ganesh is a farmer who lives in a secluded village in Goa. He does his daily farm chores and is content with his life. One day, the owner of the farm, Dattaraj, visits Ganesh and informs him that he has sold the farmland to a builder. Dattaraj needs the money to pay for his brother's medical treatment. Despite Ganesh's attempts to persuade Dattaraj not to sell the farm, it's already too late. The next day, while spraying pesticide on the paddy, he tries to call his wife but his brother-inlaw answers the phone and gets angry with him for calling repeatedly. That night, Ganesh is frustrated and repeatedly hits his head against a metal sheet. He goes to his brother Raghu's house in another village where some guests are discussing a marriage proposal for their daughter. Ganesh abruptly enters the house, which angers Raghu. They argue and Raghu physically attacks Ganesh. The other guests feel ashamed and leave the house. Raghu pushes Ganesh out of the house and slams the door shut. The following day, Ganesh lies motionless in a stream of water, in despair. He consumes the contents of the pesticide bottle and collapses in the paddy field later in the day. Later that night, Dattaraj sees Raghu walking with a torch and asks him about Ganesh. Raghu explains what had happened between him and Ganesh. They both go to search for Ganesh.
