In 1926, Gurudev visited Italy as Mussolini's guest even as the clouds of Fascism lowered over Italy. This brought him the condemnation of the world's press, which Gurudev found hard to take, and his musical genius suffered. As autumn approached, the blue skies with the fluffy white clouds made Gurudev desperate to return home. His heart cried like a bird flapping its wings, longing to get back to its nest. It was while sailing on the Baltic Sea that the first song after a long drought came to him. Through performance and audio-visual footage, we follow Gurudev through cities across Europe, a journey punctured by illness, up to the point when morning ragas and the clear skies of Bengal's festive season set him free him to bury his traumatic journey like "˜sharp blades of grass'.
