Sanjay, a builder, sets out to acquire the house of Sandhya, a former freedom fighter and the widow of the poet Anaamik. At first unyielding, Sandhya strikes a deal with Sanjay. In exchange for the house, Sanjay must resurrect the memory of her deceased husband. Sanjay’s search for the poet’s lost work uncovers much more than he expects. A freedom fighter’s memory, a builder’s future, a poet’s final lines, and the history of a nation come together over one house… Bricks and Lyrics.
