Synopsis :
A fatally shot rebel stumbles upon an old woman in a mysterious forest. The old woman brings him back to life by telling a tale she has told several such rebels. Her husband, who ran a canteen during the Sino-Indian War, used to narrate this story to soldiers who visited his canteen. Her husband never returned from the war but various versions of his story reached her through soldiers who survived the war. Personal memories and collective histories blend into one entity as the old lady's story unfolds, transforming the landscape into a theater of dreams and memories where several scenes from the history of Assam plays out again.
