Using the classical Indian dance form, Bharatanatyam, this film tells the story of an untouchable man, Nandanar, who longs to see Lord Shiva. As his birth does not allow him into the Hindu temple, he begs Shiva to move the huge stone Bull in front of the idol a foot, so that he may get a glimpse of Him from the entrance. The film examines the movement of the dance from multifaceted viewpoints, using a triptych graphic design: the center panel showing close up, superimposed views, and the side panels showing a full body shot
