Synopsis: Ishaan Awasthi is an eight-year-old whose world is filled with wonders that no
one else seems to appreciate; colours, fish, dogs and kites are just not
important in the world of adults, who are much more interested in things like
homework, marks and neatness. And Ishaan just cannot seem to get anything right
in class.
When he gets into far more trouble than his parents can handle, he is packed off
to a boarding school to "be disciplined'. Things are no different at his new
school, and Ishaan has to contend with the added trauma of separation from his
family. One day a new art teacher bursts onto the scene, Ram Shankar Nikumbh, who
infects the students with joy and optimism. He breaks all the rules of "how
things are done' by asking them to think, dream and imagine, and all the
children respond with enthusiasm, all except Ishaan. Nikumbh soon realizes that
Ishaan is very unhappy, and he sets out to discover why. With time, patience and
care, he ultimately helps Ishaan find himself. |
