In the foothills of Northern India, four friends decide to meet after two decades of absolute silence. The hurried plan to meet and come to terms with their past is fraught with risks, but they persevere. For Sharmishtha, Tilottama, Mainaak and Arundhati, things have changed a lot. After all, twenty years is undeniably a long time. The woods that were their playground have eroded, the river that was their cradle is dying, the friendships they held so close to their hearts are floundering. Even the cottage that had been rightfully theirs long before the grown-ups signed it away to them is groaning under its own weight. They come to the sullen realization that what was theirs is slowly, irrevocably, slipping away from them. But the longer they stay in the cottage, the longer they come to realize that twenty years is not nearly enough. They are at a crossroad where together, they must decide if the past that they shared, if the memories they made, and the stories they wrote and cherished within the confines of the cottage and the woods under the stress of imminent destruction, is worth saving.
