Avni, a 7 year-old girl lives with her mother, Malti and her brother, Navin. Malti, a single mother works in fields, she sends Navin to school, but keeps Avni home for chores. With an undying desire to study, Avni finds an ingenious way to learn.  Avni secretly runs to her brother\u2019s school. She quietly stands outside the window and picks up what is being taught in the class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day, Navin catches Avni, he tells Malti. Avni gets punished, but her determination only grows stronger. She makes the entire village her classroom. She starts using village walls as her blackboard. One evening in the market Avni steps in and saves her mother from getting duped by the shopkeeper. This incident comes as a big shock to Malti. First time Malti sees Avni in a different light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same night Malti is reduced to tears when finds Avni on the terrace alone reciting a poem. Next day Malti follows Avni. She is astounded when she looks at back wall of the school entirely full of words and scribblings by Avni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malti is overwhelmed by her daughter\u2019s desire and passion for learning. Would this moment be enough for Malti to empower Avni?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
