After Kunal’ s mother dies, he is sent off to a boarding school in the hills. Till he has a hostel room, he stays with Tara, his father's cousin, who teaches a special music programme in the school.
Teaching music helped Tara after her best friend died— that, and perhaps the company of the enigmatic figure known as Death, whom she sees everywhere.
Tara and Kunal must try to live together, their lives entwined by their separate losses— which neither is comfortable talking about.
This is a tale of love and loss, of the healing and illuminating power of friendship, art and music.
