Four years after cycling two thousand kilometres home during the first Covid lockdown, construction worker Mahesh becomes the subject of a film about his journey. Yet as shooting ends and he returns to the labyrinth of his job site, a quieter portrait emerges. Blending fact and fiction, this film-within-a-film reflects on migrant labour and the ethics of looking.
