Synopsis:
The story begins inside an 8X10 feet partitioned room in central Kolkata. Almost nothing is visible inside. In fact, Bilal's parents don't need any light to see things around; they are blind. Three years old Bilal and his infant brother can see. So together they live as if in a game of seeing and not seeing. Bilal knows how to communicate with them through sounds and touch. He is never jobless - be it guiding his blind parents through the traffic or training up the art of making mischiefs to his brother. Bilal tastes life on street from his elders. Very unusually for our times, Bilal's upbringing and care seems to have become a collective responsibility of all the neighbors. The film tells this curious story by observing the little boy over a year and capturing rare moments of sharing love, fun, cruelty and hope; the wonder world of Bilal.
