The film inquires hownational identities are enacted on a India-Pakistan border crossing at Wagha, where people are drawn everyday to a thin white line around which a ritual opening and closing of the border is performed. Kanwar uses this confrontational performance as a starting point for theinvestigation of the construction of an Indian masculinity divided between the demands of the nation state, the family, and the very different tradition presented by Tibetan refugees.
