In the English language, black sheep is an idiom used to describe an odd or disreputable member of a group, especially within a family. The term has typically been given negative implications, implying waywardness. It derived from the atypical and unwanted presence of other black individuals in flocks of white sheep.
In psychology, the black sheep effect refers to the tendency of group members to judge likeable ingroup members more positively and deviant ingroup member more negatively than comparable outgroup members.
The term originated from the occasional black sheep which are born into a flock of white sheep due to a genetic process of recessive traits. Black wool was considered commercially undesirable because it could not be dyed. In 18th and 19th century England, the black color of the sheep was seen as the mark of the devil. In modern usage, the expression has lost some of its negative connotations, though the term is usually given to the member of a group who has certain characteristics or lack thereof deemed undesirable by that group.

The day is March 21st, signaling the Spring Equinox. The film follows a family of poor Indian boat repairmen: two brothers, Krishna and Vishnu, and their father, Baba. Baba was a fisherman back in India, but, in Qatar, he is forced to work at any job he can get. One morning, when their bad-tempered boss Laksman is not around, the men take a boat out to sea without permission. During this clandestine fishing trip, the men happen to catch an extraordinary hamour fish. Krishna wants to have a feast as a gift for their father, but Vishnu disagrees and wants to sell it for the money.
