In the late 1980s in the Himalayas, a man's life is turned upside down by a series of mysterious fires destroying his fruit orchards. As he struggles to stop the outbreaks, the escalating mystery forces him to confront not only the truth behind the blazes but also the long-hidden secrets of his family and his own past.

In a version of Kolkata, India rendered unliveable by sea level rise, things take a dark turn when a family of climate change refugees are ambushed by a tiger on the flooded streets.

Ahmedabad, 1960. Kirti, a young businessman, crusades to preserve handlooms. His wife, Sonal, dying slowly of a hereditary disease, argues they should enter the powerloom industry to secure the family's – and her own – future. They must choose between moving forward or giving in to nostalgia when they encounter a tapestry that illustrates their entire family history.

The existential threat facing Bengal tigers is vividly evoked in this haunting appeal from Kolkata-based collective Ghost, working with the Wildlife Trust of India.
