Filmed with Super 8mm film, the movie is presented as a journey, a daydream along the Narmada River in India, between the myths of progress and the myths of the river. "Dams will be the temples of modern India," proclaimed Nehru at the country's independence. Soon, one of the largest dam complexes ever designed will be completed on the Narmada. A social struggle is taking place. We travel along the river to the ocean, meeting the inhabitants, beliefs, and imaginations that coexist and clash in this valley undergoing transformation.
