'Mithya' is a journey alongside Mithun, an eleven-year-old, coming to terms with the sudden loss of his parents. Things turn gloomier as their families squabble over his custody, even as questions over the nature of his Father's death remain unanswered. We walk in step with Mithun/Mithya's tottering feet, as they search for solid ground. Can a new house be home, can friendships be forged again or is it all just a search for something long gone?
The protagonists, Dilip, Aruna and Swaminathan, a trio of independent filmmakers, look for a last-minute replacement to their nameless “Dalit character”.
A retired widower tries to make sense of a lived life, confronted by questions he hasn’t dared to ask himself. Alongside is a young woman’s quest for identity while navigating relationships that have kept her tied down. Hustling through this world is a Magician, who dreams of becoming a grand illusionist, the best that can be. Also, a part of this world is a young man caught in a place he doesn’t want to be in, meandering to find himself in a mess that he cannot climb out of.
