Sinopsis / Synopsis:
Didar is a poet chained to his day job in a small newspaper.
But in the age of mass consumption very few still care about poetry.
While reading about a rebellious 19th century figure that was executed by the authorities, he feels deeply shaken, realizing how difficult and fragile the life of a poet always has been.
When Didar is invited to give a reading in a small town, he finds himself torn between pain and joy, his accomplishments and failures.
