Shiva, an audio artist, explores Eastern India's fiery coal mines, sparking a profound inner journey in a remote tribal village.

Shiva, an audio installation artist from Kolkata, journeys to the largest coal mining region in Eastern India, a land haunted by perpetual fire and depleting natural resources. Overwhelmed by the colossal sounds and the socio-political complexities that engulf the area, Shiva struggles with his work and his sense of self. As the flames of the mines consume him, he retreats to a tribal village deep in the forest, where the rhythms of nature and the philosophy of life challenge his urban values and trigger a profound inner journey. This film traces Shiva’s quest for truth, shaped by the relentless forces of fire and water.
