In a quiet Maharashtrian village, Janardan, a halgi player, inherits a family tradition he no longer believes in. For generations, his family has lived off the rhythm of the drum, but for him every beat carries caste, shame and suffocation. As events push him away from the halgi, his silence grows louder, until destiny pulls him back.
