This is the story of the joys and challenges of a middle class family residing in the Gurukripa Society. Putti, her brother Dodu and Chinna, all between the 6-8 years of age live in a time that is approaching an environmentally endangered future that is as real as today and looms as close as tomorrow. Through fantasy and fun the kids explore the past and present with the new tenant UNCLE SAB KUCHJAANE who breathes new meaning into all he touches and encounters. The eco- unfriendly factory where the children’’s father works, and the way of life of the landlord Mr. Gurumurthy, impacts the lives of the children directly and indirectly. The children and the new tenant bring Mr. Gurumurthy to lead a greener way of life through fun, games and pranks. While the factory adopts an eco-friendly policy, an apparently dead tree stump in the Gurukripa society sprouts the first leaf in the midst of a hilarious turn of events. “The First Leaf” presents in a lighter vein, the idea that the world is not just ours; it belongs to our children too and progress comes at a price. However we can choose what price we must pay (and even design the price tag!) as individuals, citizens, communities and privileged inhabitants of an ever giving planet.
