- Synopsis
- Set in the lush locales of Rupa region of Arunachal Pradesh, the film opens as Togbe Mahajan meets driver Radha Binode Singh after buying a second hand vehicle in Assam. As he returns to Arunachal Pradesh Togbe Mahajan learns that the driver is a deserter from the Indian Army. The mahajan arranges a set of fresh identity papers for the driver who stays on and becomes an extended member of the family. Driver Singh also develops a relationship with Sherdukpan widow Maya. He has a brush with the Sherdukpan concept of Mishing, the spirit of dying people that appears before their near and dear ones and one day, seeing himself dead behind the wheels of his own car, flees for good.
  Years pass by. An individual appears before Abu,Togbe Mahajan’s son who now is a middle aged man and churns out tales of the days that had rolled by. He asks Abu to go to their Guwahati residence and collect a precious possession of Togbe Mahajan that has been in his custody. The individual disappears without a trace.
  In Guwahati. Abu receives his dad’s precious possession from Driver Singh’s son. Driver Singh, he is told, is in a Vellore hospital. In fact, he has been there for the last few months, he is further told. Abu returns home with his dad’s precious possession. Who was it that had appeared before Abu? The one who had disappeared without a trace? What does the film say about that?
