Prije četiri godine mladi strani građevinski radnik Mahesh biciklom je prošao 2000 kilometara sam kako bi se vratio kući za vrijeme Covid-karantene. Sada je protagonist filma o tom epskom putovanju. No što će dobiti od snimanja? Spjajući stvarnost i fikciju, ovaj film unutar filma donosi priče stranih radnika iz vlastite perspektive. Kako se snimanje bliži kraju, a Mahesh vraća labirintu svog građevinskog posla, nazire se portret mladića zarobljenog u svom stanju. On se nalazi u još jednom ciklusu razočaranja - između krhkih iluzija doma, prijateljstva i slave. Kako će Mahesh pobjeći iz tog začaranog kruga razočaranosti?
