Synopsis : When the Rimpoche - the religious head from a serene monastery in Spiti, Himachal
Pradesh, gets a vision about his Master's reincarnation in New Delhi as a six-year-old
boy, it is left to a young, educated girl from the town Kaya (Udita Goswami) to
bring the six-year-old child Llahmo (Madan) back to the monastery. Although Kaya
has been brought up in the quiet but disciplined environment of Spiti and has
been conditioned by her stern Father (Dr. Mohan Agashe) to believe that denial
is the only route to higher truth, her heart wanders into territories common for
a girl her age. She yearns for love and waits for its arrival during her private
moments. As fate would have it, Llahmo gets involved with the murder of a key
police officer in New Delhi and becomes a key witness to the case. Investigating
the murder is a righteous police officer Shiven (John Abraham), who is tough,
honest and with a very distinct and practical notion of life. Although Kaya resents
his philosophy and clashes with him on several occasions owing to his views on
reincarnation, sacrifice and higher truth; she finds herself strangely drawn to
him too.
The murder case complicates further till there is no option for Shiven except
to reach Kaya and Llahmo to their own safe surroundings. Injured in the process
of this escape, he still manages to take them safely to Spiti. His injury is
serious and he is forced by the elders and Kaya to stay in the village amongst
the monks, a village life, a bitter father and his growing attraction for Kaya
till he is healed. During his stay he manages to evoke several suppressed feelings
in Kaya and this causes concern to her father who has already chalked a path
that she must take.
As the danger from the city, in the form of the actual murderers comes closer
and closer to Spiti threatening to break the silence in the valley with blood
and gunshots, Kaya has to make up her mind whether she wants to follow her heart
that will give her happiness in this birth or follow a path of sacrifice to
secure joy in her future births...
