In the year 1991, a young research student working in medical research embarks upon a scientific project on a red-coloured, mystical protein — lactoferrin — which takes her on an enthralling magical and spiritual journey. The quest for the growing red crystals of lactoferrin is fraught with difficulties and struggle. The final discovery of the molecular structure of the protein, after more than a decade, is an inspirational tale of how one can achieve their dreams if they never give up.
