Synopsis:
 Ishaan
Awasthi is an eight-year-old whose world is filled
with wonders that no one else seems to appreciate;
colours, fish, dogs and kites are just not important
in the world of adults, who are much more interested
in things like homework, marks and neatness. And
Ishaan just cannot seem to get anything right in
class.
When he gets into far more trouble than his parents
can handle, he is packed off to a boarding school to
‘be disciplined’. Things are no different at his new
school, and Ishaan has to contend with the added
trauma of separation from his family.
One day a new art teacher bursts onto the scene, Ram
Shankar Nikumbh, who infects the students with joy and
optimism. He breaks all the rules of ‘how things are
done’ by asking them to think, dream and imagine, and
all the children respond with enthusiasm, all except
Ishaan. Nikumbh soon realizes that Ishaan is very
unhappy, and he sets out to discover why. With time,
patience and care, he ultimately helps Ishaan find
himself.
