Synopsis

Young Gattu is too poor to go to school. Instead, he works at a scrap yard that belongs to a man called "uncle." Gattu was sold to him years ago by his sick father and he makes up any excuse to slip away to indulge his passion for kite-flying. On a daily basis, the local kids compete against each other with their kites. They refer to the mysterious black kite that dominates the sky as Kali but no one seems to know who owns it. If Gattu wants to try to win the next competition, he will have to climb up to the highest place in town which is the local school roof. A dramatic battle of the skies follows in which Gattu goes to the mat to claim the lead. Encouraged by the friendship with his new-found comrades, he also decides to make a confession.
