An Indian Canadian girl lights a diya (oil lamp) while visiting her family's home town, but the flame runs away because the girl is too ashamed of its unusual colour to let it shine. The film explores themes of belonging, cultural identity and guilt while showing off the richness and vibrance of an Indian festival.
