A three-year-old boy named Bilal lives with his younger brother and their blind parents in a small room in a poor part of Kolkata. It's dark in the room and almost nothing can be seen.Due to the special circumstances of his parents, Bilal's upbringing and care seems to be the shared responsibility of all his neighbors. Therefore, despite Bilal's young age, the resourceful, playful boy already knows a lot about life and plays an important role in his family. He would place his mother's hand where it needs to be cleaned and skillfully guide his father through the busy city traffic.The film gives us a close-up look at the world of a child living in two worlds: that of the blind and that of those who can see.
