Punjabi music is traced in a surreal room from old folk to skyscraper Bhangra.
A tiny man sleeping in an alcove of a room wakes up to the strains of old punjabi folk music. He floats down to the floor and witnesses the spatio-temporal changes happening outside his room through an opening in the wall and a door. These changes are accompanied by the evolution of punjabi music and his own stature where he gets uncomfortably large in his tiny room.
