The Zeitgeist is the story of Akshay, a young man who in his own world, is fighting with the demons hidden within. The demons of guilt, of suppression of natural instincts, of bodily desires, of failures and of so called morality that never existed in reality. He is in constant struggle with himself and with the society. This agonizing journey of his struggle gives vent to different moods where he tries to “Redefine Suicide” and ponders over “Death of a Boy”. Akshay is facing existential crisis and is struggling to overcome it. Unable to find the solution, he follows the advice of Aks and decides to move from Shehar to Bada Shehar with his friend Gappori. He accepts/considers the boasting nature of human being as one of the many fairly prevalent a trait, of which Gappori is a victim. In his search for finding the meaning of life and existence in society, he comes across Kavi, who is a theatre artist, Safal, who is a budding entrepreneur and Jyani, who organizes motivational workshop. He likes the way Kavi, Safal and Jyani are leading a life of their choice. These men leave an imprint on Akshay and makes him better understands realities of human behavior, love, life & choices. He comes back to Shehar and decides to be a part of the production process. Being fairly pragmatic, Akshay enrolls himself for a professional course to better his chances of survival in this materialistic world. All that he learns in the Bada Sheher are undone, when he falls in love with a girl. Those of us who are intoxicated with romantic love affairs may not get disillusioned as there is an educative aspect to understand the realities of love life. This is the story of our times…..
