Happy farmers, a wedding and some giant cauliflowers feature in a quaint look at India's rural west.

"The land of smiling people" - rural Maharashtra, in the west of India - is the setting of this film. In this quaint look at rural life, the roles of the smiling farmer and his wife are clearly performed by professional actors in a style reminiscent of Indian films of the time - and strangely at odds with the documentary style narration. The film was produced by the Prabhat Film Company - then one of India's leading feature film production companies - for the Films Division of the Government of India.
