In this ecological whodunit, a peaceful dawn in the BR Hills in the Western Ghats of India is broken by the discovery of a dead elephant. A wise old Maththi Tree (Crocodile bark tree) and a visiting Sitte (Blue tiger butterfly) sift through the clues together to uncover the truth.
The film is a part of a project at ATREE, a non-profit organization based in Bengaluru, titled "Indigenous co-management of Lantana-invaded habitats to restore coexistence." One of the key components of this project is to co-create a curriculum that combines indigenous knowledge with ecological knowledge to train a cadre of young people in a study in the BR Hills.
