Deham Plot
DEHAM is about a new kind of Mephistophelean contract between the First and Third Worlds. OM PRAKASH is a jobless young man, living with his wife JAYA, mother MA and younger brother JEETU in a one-room tenement. Unable to see any better options, he responds to an enticing appeal from a multinational company called INTERPLANTA. The deal they offer is that he and his family will live in luxury for the rest of their lives in exchange for signing up as an organ-donor to a wealthy foreign client. The moment the contract is signed, the family's life changes. In order to be eligible for the programme, OM must pretend that he is a bachelor and JAYA, his wife, must agree to call herself his sister. JEETU, who makes a living as a male prostitute, prefers to leave the family rather than permit himself to be controlled by INTERPLANTA as represented by officious GUARDS who have the right to enter the homes of donors at will, to ensure that they are honouring the terms of their contract. The food eaten by the family, the air they breathe, the water they drink, even their personal hygiene comes under the control and scrutiny of INTERPLANTA. After a couple of months, OM, JAYA and MA, growing accustomed to their new life of comfort and convenience, are thrown into a quandary as Jeetu reappears. Before they can come to any decision, it's time for the organ transplants to begin…and none of them is prepared for what the Guards do.
