Influenced by his late mother, Dhruv has become a wildlife zoologist. He goes to conduct field research to study mammals at the Kodaikanal Wildlife Sanctuary in Tamil Nadu. It is essential to hire a local guide to navigate through the wild nature of 600 square kilometer with only a forty-year old map and a simple GPS device, where the cell phone signals are weak or non-existent. He hires a man named Dorai who gives a somewhat questionable first impression as he doesn’t speak much. Through time, however, they build up trust and friendship. One day, Dorai says he has to visit his hometown for a funeral, and then he cannot be reached again. Through the process of finding him again, Dhruv begins to understand why he was scared of uniformed men and had to drink to sleep. Director Mirle’s film shows viewers the difficult lives of India’s poorest inhabitants. (PARK Sungho)
