Description:
Natha a poor farmer from Peepli village in the
heart of rural India is about to lose his plot of land due to an unpaid
government loan. A quick fix to the problem is the very same
government’s program that aids the families of indebted farmers who have
committed suicide. As a means of survival Farmer Natha can choose to
die!!! His brother is happy to push him towards this unique ‘honor’ but
Natha is reluctant. Local elections are around the corner and what
might’ve been another unnoticed event turns into a ‘cause celebré’ with
everyone wanting a piece of the action. Political bigwigs, high-ranking
bureaucrats, local henchmen and the ever-zealous media descend upon
sleepy Peepli to stake their claim. The question on everyone’s lips -
“Will he or Won’t he?” As the mania escalates what will be the fate of
Farmer Natha; nobody seems to care how he really feels?
