A film crew arrives in a remote village to give a community-building arts workshop for local young people. The filmmaker and his team quickly gain the trust of the local people. As they get closer, they realise that the village is facing oppression on a frightening scale. The trail leads to the mayor of the village, who also runs the cucumber farm that provides the main livelihood. When the filmmakers learn that the leader is abusing his power, the director decides to make a revealing documentary about him. His well-intentioned mission has serious consequences. His highly publicised film drives a wedge between the innocent villagers and puts everyone in danger.
