They conform to no music industry norms. Their songs have an average length of more than eight minutes and none of them are love songs (in the conventional sense). Their music might be described as a fluid jazzy vibe with rock intensity and strong Indian Classical influences. After more than eighteen years together, the music of Indian Ocean shows no signs of aging. The four members have led interesting lives and made personal sacrifices to remain true to their artistic vision. This continued willingness to take risks and eschew commercial considerations has resulted in a singularly unique sound admired around the world.
Director Jaideep Varma delves beyond the stage personas of the musicians, retracing the journey of Indian Ocean from its inception, through personnel changes and the creative evolution that forms the unified sound and chemistry that make the band a true original. By stepping back and letting the band do what they do best - make music -Varma captures their unique energy and sound. Through concert performances and intimate improvisations, viewers gain a fresh perspective into the creative process and personal struggles of the band's members. LEAVING HOME acts as a biography and aural soundscape that is certain to garner the band new followers while also satisfying their established fans.
