An artist confronts the revered pioneer of Odia literature, Fakir Mohan Senapati, to lament how the Odia language is faring today and how the state's elites look down on it. As he pleads his case, the film asks whether his voice will be heard, and hints that there is more to the artist himself than first appears.
