Project Heart(h)

In the heart of Assam, where the Bihu festival fills the air with music and dance, a young filmmaker named Junak returns to his ancestral village. Haunted by creative block and the weight of a past he can't outrun, he embarks on a risky project: creating a sapphic Bihu music video. But the village holds secrets, both magical and mundane, and an unexpected encounter with a mischievous stranger named Dikhou throws Junak's carefully laid plans into disarray, forcing him to confront not only his art but also the truth of his own heart and heritage.

The air is thick with the anticipation of Bihu. Junak, a young filmmaker from the city, arrives in the serene village of Nonrong with his friends, Niribili and Banhi.

He hasn't been back in years, and the quiet rural landscape feels both familiar and foreign. His mind is consumed by his risky artistic project – creating a sapphic Bihu music video – a concept that challenges the traditional norms of this deeply cultural region.

His journey takes an unexpected turn when he encounters Dikhou, a mischievous young man who delights in teasing him with local ghost stories, specifically about the bridge leading to the village. Junak, easily rattled, falls for the prank, leading him and his friends on an exhausting detour through fields and streams, arriving at his grandparents' house covered in mud and questioning his own judgment.
