Overview
Documenting the lives of four Nepalese migrant laborers in a mango orchard in Ratnagiri, the film reveals power struggles between the workers, their employer, and the filmmaker, and explores the complexities of power dynamics at the micro level. It also examines the relationship between the filmmaker and the male-dominated world of migrant labor, showing how power can be limited for those who appear to have it.
