Rahul, who grew up in an underprivileged environment in New Delhi with a population of 29 million, leaves his extended family and the neighbourhood for the first time in his life for 5 months and flies to Ljubljana, a city of less than 300 thousand people, between Eastern and Central Europe. Seeing and sharing a glimpse of western society, which is idealised in his environment and having the time for reflecting about life for the first time, 20-year old young manshares his fresh understanding of the world before he returns back to India.
