Chirag Malhotra is an actor in Delhi who has had enough of city life and dreams of relocating to the mountains, but he does not know if he could actually survive there, financially or otherwise. The film pairs him with Muzammil Hussain, who left a secure job eight years ago to start a trekking and tour company in Kashmir. Hussain sets Chirag a series of practical tests, from basic survival tasks to living rough for a few days, to see whether the fantasy of mountain life holds up against the reality of cold, isolation, and unreliable income. Interviews with both men trace the gap between what Chirag imagines and what Hussain actually had to give up and learn. Part of DW's 'Choices: Dare to Dream' series, the episode treats Chirag's dilemma as a stand-in for a wider question facing young people pushed toward safe, conventional paths by family and community expectation: whether stepping away from the city is a real plan or just an escape fantasy.
