Summary:

Ved comes from a violent home in the Mumbai slums. When he joins a project aiming to foster healthy masculinity, he begins to realise there may be a brighter path for his future than the one paved by his abusive, controlling father. Men Against Violence and Abuse (MAVA), is making progressive work on gender equality in India. MAVA aspires to break down the traditional male gender roles and the culture of violence. Harish and his colleague Asper provide alternative, more secure role models for Ved. Will Ved be able to change the course of his life with the support he is getting? Is the new generation mature enough to abandon the strict gender roles or will the traditions weigh more?
