India is experiencing a crisis unprecedented in its history. Every 30 minutes, a farmer commits suicide there under the weight of the demands imposed by the multinational Monsanto, which prevent them from living decently despite the work carried out. After the suicide of his father, a young Indian picks up a camera and conducts an investigation in order to highlight the devastation caused by GMOs.
