About the film
Two government school teachers in a small village find out that they must be ready overnight for a surprise inspection by a government official in the morning. But Dr. Ambedkar's photo is missing from the school office wall. They must find it before the official’s visit. This film is a commentary on the self-contradictory fabric of India, where a mere picture becomes more important than the ideology of Dr. Ambedkar.
