The story spans over four generations of a group of people, both from
north India and from the Dharwad region, who are involved in
Hindusthani music – their personal lives, their issues with each other –
and related to their passion for music. From being a student and a
disciple, to giving concerts of their own and developing an original style,
to trying to make a name for themselves in a highly competitive and
politicised industry and to, finally, have students and disciples of their
own, thus completing the circle and starting a new cycle.
