Timoner describes her film as a “cautionary tale,” highlighting the consequences of a technology-based childhood. Much of the film is devoted to Harris’ upbringing and his relationship with his mother, whom he refused to see even on her deathbed.

The party president Sonia Gandhi (Rahul's mother) must now choose whether to make a point in favor of experience and against dynastic succession. It is instructive to remember that of the 80 ministers in the present Congress-led coalition at the centre, 15 have close ties to political families. In the Congress' previous term, 10 ministers' parents were either current or former chief ministers. Yet, people voted for stability and performance and brought the Congress back to power.
