A love letter to a mistress sits next to a radio transceiver and a USB full of Hindi music during a stopover in southern Rajasthan. The crew of drivers consisted of six young and somewhat rowdy friends who were transporting heavyweight hydroelectric equipment to a remote town in the foothills of the Himalayas in the state of Himachal Pradesh. The drivers go in a group so that one person can always relieve the driver to take over the wheel.
