Synopsis

The story happens over a weekend in a mid-western US city. Akhil, Samir, Betty and Vinod are four Indian professionals living in the same house. When Akhil fails to secure a job promotion and Samir gets a traffic ticket, both ascribe it to racism. That night they are challenged by another to look back at their own Indian lives in the backdrop of their racism claims Four lives unravel over a weekend. Their stories entangled in caste-ism, regionalism and maltreatment of women make them realize how it feels like to be on the receiving end of things. They also realize there is an invisible thread that tie them together as Indians above all. Life goes on. FENCES - things that divide us... things that unite us...
