Overview 

A film created using entirely with real wool. The narrator in the film tells how urbanization has impacted them and how consumers replaced organic wool with Acrylic (plastic) wool, leading to India becoming the largest acrylic wool consumer, discarding 80 % of the homegrown wool. Now slowly we are surrounded with micro plastic everywhere.

It also tells about the tales of Balumama (God for shepherds in Deccani region) and how he used to take care of his herd of sheep. He became very famous when he started spreading awareness about how cross breeding is not a good practice and how it impacts their sheep on larger scale.
