Avec ce bref travail, la réalisatrice fait connaître le douloureux rituel du tatouage des gencives auquel sont soumises les femmes pour faire ressortir de leur sourire le blanc de leurs dents. Mais elle le fait avec un regard moderne, en faisant appel à l’ironie, au montage rapide, à la musique effrénée des djembés. Presque un clip sur une tradition peu connue.

Narrated by Satyajit Ray, the film begins with the funeral procession of Rabindranath Tagore. Briefly mentioning about Kolkata, then known as "Calcutta", the documentary explains the Tagore lineage, starting with Dwarkanath Tagore. While documentary mentions Dwarkanath Tagore's elder son Debendranath Tagore's association with an Indian religious, social, and educational reformer Raja Rammohun Roy and introduces some of his children out of fourteen, it moves to the birth of child Rabindranath Tagore, fondly called as "Robi". The film then narrates Robi's initial schooling days, his trip to northern India with his father, publication of his first poem in his father's magazine and his failed attempt for higher education at London.
