The film tells the story of 6 year old boy named Chintu, stuck in Iraq with family at the times of Saddam’s fall. It is April, 2004. US-led allied forces have been in Iraq for a year now. All Indians have been brought home, so says the Indian government. But there are those who migrated to Iraq illegally, still waiting to find a way out. On the day of our story, one such family prepares to celebrate the 6th birthday of their youngest member, Chintu. Their kind-hearted Iraqi landlord lends them a helping hand.
