In a far suburb of Mumbai, residents from slums are moved into high- -rise apartment complexes with the promise of a better life. While these complexes are built allegedly to house the poor, they have been seen as moves to free prime slum land for commercial development. The complexes soon degenerate into places worse than slums. The fi lm lets the viewer experience the living conditions of places hidden away in a 21st century metropolis.
