Weaving the veil of historical memory, the human eye focuses on the same points, the soul is magnetized by the words of an eternal tale, societies place their hopes in the power of specific places and many gods. One such point of convergence and meeting of human desires has been and is the Punjab. There, the slopes of the mountains are wrinkled by earthquakes and snows, giving birth to an endless plain, a place that dispenses gifts and fruits.
For centuries, as if everyone wants to take something from this wealth, as if they all want to dig the fertile land with their greedy nails, to find stones and treasures, precious seeds and rare timber, to give even more to their children...
Suitors and contenders are the characters, all kinds of figures: artisans, farmers and warriors, kings, passersby, humble and proud, foreign invaders, artists and workers, ambitious and spiritual. All of them have a story to tell us. All these figures wanted to win this precious trophy, a prize of glory and wealth. They wanted to make it their own, even if just for a moment.
The story of the five rivers of India is the story of the human soul throughout the ages. In this same setting, priests of every religion sing praises, astrologers explain, gurus advise, the poor work, time flows, the torrents carry on their proud journey to form the Indus River, while the immortal mountains watch and laugh from above.
