Film Synopsis

Rahul, a Bengali architect, returns to his native Calcutta in India after working on various construction projects in Dubai.  Here, he is glad to be reunited with his girlfriend Paoli but he soon becomes concerned over what has happened to his brother.  The latter has apparently gone out of his mind and is now living like a wild animal in the jungle, subsisting on whatever fruit and vegetation he can find.  Paoli agrees to accompany Rahul as he sets out on a search of the jungle for his missing sibling.  Little do they know that the errant brother is not as alone as they imagine.  He has struck up a friendship with a French soldier who has lost his way in the jungle...
