In Goa, a Catholic woman, Mathilde, and Manoj, a Hindu man, protest against the construction of a motorway. Seven kilometres of concrete have destroyed forests and cut entire villages in half. At the same time, Yash, a taxi driver, awaits the completion of the work. Following the construction site like a red thread, the film offers a reflection on development and tourism.

A Goa (India), Mathilde (cattolica) e Manoj (indù) protestano contro la costruzione di un'autostrada. 7 km di cemento hanno distrutto foreste e tagliato a metà interi villaggi. Allo stesso tempo, Yash - un tassista - attende il completamento dei lavori. Seguendo il cantiere come un filo rosso, il film offre una riflessione sullo sviluppo e sul turismo.
