Synopsis : Natha a poor farmer from Peepli
village in the heart of rural India is about to lose his plot of land
due to an unpaid government loan. A quick fix to the problem is the
very same government's program that aids the families of indebted
farmers who have committed suicide. As a means of survival Farmer Natha
can choose to die!!! His brother is happy to push him towards this
unique 'honor' but Natha is reluctant. Local elections are around the
corner and what might've been another unnoticed event turns into a
'cause celebré' with everyone wanting a piece of the action. Political
bigwigs, high ranking bureaucrats, local henchmen and the ever zealous
media descend upon sleepy Peepli
to stake their claim. The question on everyone's lips "Will he or Won't
he?" As the mania escalates what will be the fate of Farmer Natha;
nobody seems to care how he really feels?
