Plot

Harinder "Harry" Singh Nehra, a tour guide in Europe, hails from the small village of Nurmahal in Punjab. Harry had run off to Canada in his youth to pursue his dream of becoming a singer. However, things didn’t go as planned, and he eventually ended up in Europe, where he became a tour guide. Harry, a charming but cynical man, hides a deep sense of loneliness, guilt, and homesickness. He is also a womaniser, though his flirtations and affairs seem more like distractions than genuine connections.
