This experimental documentary film has fragments of archival letters, images, sounds, and songs of the Indian soldiers in a war-ridden landscape of Europe. While visiting Ypres, the director learnt that 1.4 million Indians were conscripted by the British to fight in Flanders Fields during the First World War. By using audio recordings, letters, songs, and archives, he brings his anonymous ancestors back to life, like ghosts inlaid in an immovable winter landscape.
