Set in time many centuries from now, when seasons are passé , a few kids run across the word ‘autumnal’. In the process of demystifying the word, that in their times is archaic, they end up reading one of the earliest issues of Nouve SPARK. The theme of that old issue is Seasons. Watch the story unfurl as Anurag, Vidya, Krish and Ram try to understand what seasons are. Jeevanjyoti Chakraborty delights you with a science fiction that also carries a serious message.
