Synopsis
The film is about a mine-owner family and its interaction with the residents of the mining belt of Goa.
The bountiful nature and the pristine beauty of Goa is a joy for Goans and nature lovers all over the globe. Known all over the world as a popular tourist destination, Goa remains a dream holiday destination for everybody. But little known is the fact that the mining industry is an important part of Goa's economy. It could be the story of any of the mining families in Goa, with a young scion taking learning the ropes the newest member of the family, a pretty, educated daughter-in-law, Aleesha.
Aleesha is an artist photographer who is an ardent lover of nature. Married in the family of industrialists, she finds herself in a conflict of interests. Her struggle to set right the blatant violation and flouting of rules brings her in direct confrontation with her family's business interests. Moreover, her hard stance of exposing the facts does not go down well with the involved parties. In the film, Aleesha depicts her persuasiveness and the manner in which she manages to prevail over her husband and in-laws who themselves are mine owners. Aleesha's message is that of co-existence of an eco-friendly industry with nature being the need of the hour.
