Synopsis

Pallavi (Kitu Gidwani), a young Indian singer, studies classical singing and music with her mother in order to perpetuate the sacred oral tradition. When her mother dies, the young woman looses her voice. Despite attempts by her husband to reason with her, Pallavi is certain that the only way to continue to sing is to find her mother's professor. Thanks to her strong will and the help of this sage, she discovers the mysteries of this silence forced upon her and rediscovers her voice.

Dance of the Wind takes place in the present, in New Delhi, where the sacred tradition of music is passed down from master to disciple, from parent to child, withstanding the temptations of easy money to made in the music industry.
