In a docu-feature on Indian Institute of Chemical Biology (IICB), the premier institute of biomedical research located in the city, Ghose had captured the life and work of these handful of young scientists.

"I was moved by the grit of them to stay away from big money in other fields like IT and pursue what many of his contemporaries have abandoned," Ghose said.

So when Ghose was asked to make a documentary on IICB, set up in 1935, by Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, the film-maker settled for a docu-feature format delving into personal life of the researchers.

"There is a thin story line, based on real life incidents in the scientists' lives enacted in the environment of their institute where they spend hours together without sparing a thought about their families during crucial hours," Ghose told PTI.

Ghose has built up his narrative mostly on human genetics research aspect of the institute and the scientists involved in the job.

He also touched on other areas of the institute's vast modern biomedical research facilities in cellular physiology, biotechnology, genomics, immunology, and bi-product chemistry.
