Two families in Jamnagar, Gujarat State in northern India are profiled. We follow 8-year-old Raja as he attends school, plays cricket with his friends and chess with his mother, visits a Hindu temple and takes an evening walk with his parents.

We also see 5-year-old Bavika playing with her many cousins in their family compound, and we visit the family farm, where we see a water buffalo being milked, a woman making breakfast over a fire tended by her 4-year-old son, and a man using oxen to plow a field.
