In this intriguing Indian merge between fiction and documentary, a cell phone serves as the catalyst through which events and encounters are reflected. Charu, a beautiful young migrant, shares an apartment with another migrant girl. Both are seeking a career in dynamic Mumbai.
They are caught up in a chain of unpredictable events when a labourer painting their apartment suddenly collapses. As he has no identification on him, Charu faces a dilemma. Acting instinctively, she engages doctors, pays his medical bills and traces his identity. Led by his only possession, a cell phone, Charu’s investigation unveils lesser-known urban spaces and lifestyles that rarely get attention.
Uncomfortable encounters mirror Charu’s own position as a migrant, but also address relevant issues: how do we define identity or connect with each other; what is left in us that we call a 'humane' attitude?
