It is a story of love, loss and reunion. It displays the impulsive youthful side of love as well as its softer mature side.. Innovatively told, it will leave you with a smile on your face and a pair of moist eyes.

The story follows two sisters separated in their childhood in India: one is now a superstar in the glitzy and melodramatic world of Bollywood and the other toiling in the locked sterility of a biology lab in Barcelona. A tale of hope and sibling love that spans two continents - from India to Spain.
