Life forces your hand sometimes - - the choices you make at this time define the kind of human you are. But is it really a black and white choice always? Does everybody create that fine grey area for themselves or do some people struggle their entire lives to make peace with choices they make?

Dr. Prakash migrates from Mandvi to live in faraway Canada, he leaves a despondent mother Chandrika, his best friend Dr. Solanki and the hopes of all his villagers behind.

""I will learn to live without him,"" Chandrika was determined.

Did Dr. Solanki ever forgive him for leaving him in the lurch? Does Prakash, after having spent twenty five years in Canada, have the courage to come back to his mother when she needs him the most? The strange looking Ganesa seems to overpower the unfolding of all events - is he the real reason or is he the cover for clearing the conscience?

Set in Gujarat, it is a story of two friends, Chandrika and Amba, who let their children pursue their destinies and their children, like each one of us struggle to create a fine balance between our own ambitions, aspirations, struggles, and the need of our parents to be with them, especially during their twilight years.
