Veda, a classical dance prodigy in India, lives and breathes dance --- until an accident leaves her a below-knee amputee. But Veda refuses to let her disability rob her of her dreams, and she starts all over again. Then she meets Govinda, a young man who approaches dance as a spiritual pursuit. As their relationship deepens, Veda reconnects with her world, and begins to discover who she is and what dance truly means to her.
