A photographer at the Gateway of India (Mumbai) is drawn by the sudden urge to photograph a stranger. She doesn't speak his language. They are worlds apart.

The film is the screen adaptation of Chef Vikas Khanna's novel The Last Color, which follows the friendship between a young tight-rope walker and a widow named Noor in Banaras. The duo yearns to play with colors on the occasion of Holi, but Noor and the other widows are held back by tradition.
