BLACK STORY

Based in Simla, the McNallys are an Anglo-Indian family consisting of

Paul and his wife, Catherine. Both are full of joy when Catherine gives

birth to a baby girl, Michelle, but their joy is short-lived when they

are told that Michellle cannot see nor hear. Both attempt to bring up

Michelle in their own protective way, as a result Michelle is not

exposed to the real world, and becomes increasingly violent and

volatile. Things only get worse when Catherine gives birth to Sara, and

Paul considers admitting Michelle in an asylum. It is here that Debraj

Sahai enters their lives. Through his eager involvement, Michelle

blossoms, grows, gives up her violence, even gets admitted in school

with normal children. The years pass by, Michelle does not succeed in

getting her graduation, and it is time for Debraj to bid adieu as he is

having his own health problems. 12 years later, at the age of 40,

Michelle does succeed in graduating in Arts, and it is shortly

thereafter she will be re-united with her teacher. No longer the same

alcoholic, eccentric, - but a bent older male, who cannot even remember

speech, leave alone what he taught. Watch what happens when Michelle

attempts to re-enter his 'blank' life.
