An adolescent boy (Phoring, for "Dragonfly") grows up in a back-of-beyond township in North Bengal. Surrounded by the lush Dooars
countryside, the town barely survives the shutdown of a factory.
Maladjusted and a born loser, Phoring fights the voices in his head
which he calls God. A new teacher (Doel) arrives in school, and opens up
his mind to things unknown. Just when Phoring starts to believe that
this is not a dream, Doel disappears abruptly leaving behind a trail of
doubt and suspicion. Phoring decides to go looking for her in Kolkata.
