Traditionally Rajasthani folktales are mostly based around deserted landscapes, where a boy/man makes a voyage across distant lands(videsh) in a hope of fortunes while in such folktales the females either wait for his return or he establishes himself in the distant lands. Practically, Jaipur being a capital city is different from such landscapes. Jaipur comparatively is more green and its cityscapes have touched New-Delhi’s modernity sooner than any other cities within Rajasthan. The film documents the city landscapes and experiments it with creating a folklore, where to sleep properly men make pact with the moon to turn their women into trees.
