Synopsis DOK Leipzig Logo

This documentary delves into the life of a teacher, centenarian Nanda Prusty, who came to the limelight in 2021 after receiving Padmashri, India's prominent civilian award. He is renowned for operating one of India's last traditional open-air schools, Chatasali, giving free education to the poor. Transforming from an actor to a teacher, Prusty's narrative extends across three generations, marked by his unwavering commitment to selflessly serve his village on a profound spiritual path.
