The film tells the heartwarming and inspiring story of two sisters, Anuja and Palak, who face hardships in a world that seems determined to exploit and exclude them.
The narrative focuses on 9-year-old Anuja, who works in a garment factory with her older sister. The film follows Anuja as she faces a difficult decision that will change both her life and the lives of those around her.
