A man wearing a yellow, hand-knitted muffler has a firm grip on a small box as he sits in a tractor marching across the misty fields of Punjab. Along the vast, lush green landscape, he sees a factory standing strong. Right in its opening frames, filmmaker duo, Jasmine Kaur Roy and Avinash Roy establish a contrast of opposing worlds in their Punjabi short, Khooh Waala Ghar (Room at the farm), as the man, Nihal, a small farmer, is driven to desperation and debt and left with no choice other than selling his ancestral farm land to make way for a factory.
