When Sukhdev Singh Sandhu died in 1979 at the age of 46, he was already one of India's most celebrated documentary filmmakers, known the world over, adored by his friends and a source of inspiration to those who worked with him. To his young daughter, however, he was a harsh, mostly absent father whom she didn't relate with. 30 years later, Shabnam Sukhdev, now a filmmaker herself, endeavours to construct a true picture of her father as she struggles to love and respect him for who he was. Using personal memories, archival audio recordings, old photographs and clips from his films, she pays a moving homage to an almost forgotten hero.
