Abhinav feels trapped by his tight-knit Hindu community in Madrid, but craves to go out raving with his friends in search of a different kind of ecstasy. When his guru announces a visit to bless his devotees on the same night as the most important festival of the year, a strange series of events augurs the collision between his two worlds.
