- RITIKA (19) hates her life under the strict control of her single mother INDIRA (43), who is also the local cop. Ritika wants to escape and has the will, but no money. Ritika's grandma MAKHONI (73) too plans to escape and has for long fantasised about her exit from life. Makhoni is determined to leave the world on a boat rowed by a mythical angel in a lake hidden from the world. It is said that if one reaches the angel, he will offer a special sweet fish and upon consuming it, angel would row the person into afterlife.
  An agreement of convenience takes place between the two. For a princely sum, Ritika will smuggle Makhoni all the way to the mystical angel. With her newfound money, Ritika plans to take escape home. The two sneak out of the house at night. Shrewd Ritika had expertly planned the whole escape but the best laid plans often go awry. To compound their issues on the road, a very angry Indira is hot on their heels.
  As the trip branches off in unexpected directions, both pursued and pursuer meet a bunch of characters and discover new meanings to their own lives. When they finally reach the mystical lake, the angel is waiting for Makhoni. But Ritika loves her grandma too much to let her go and Indira wants them both to stay back. Makhoni has a decision to make. Happy to see her daughter and granddaughter together again, Makhoni waves them goodbye.
