Ashgari Bai is one of the oldest exponents alive of the dying art of Drupad, the most orthodox form of Hindustani Classical music. The story about the only woman to have espoused this austere and invocative form of music and she has been conferred national awards including the Padmashree. Ironically however, she remains a curiously anonymous and lonely figure today, battling against insurmountable odds in a small town of Madya Pradesh in India. Showcasing her wit, her forthrightness, her charm and her indomitability, this documentary is a portrait of a precious gem of India who insists on living life on her own terms.
