SYNOPSIS

Kusum, Vijay, and Rahul are scared that they are about to lose the only home they’ve known. They live in Kathputli Colony, India’s largest community of traditional artists located in the heart of Delhi. Puppeteers, singers, dancers and daily wage workers from all over India live here. But the government has decided to demolish the colony and resettle the people in high rises. Kusum, Vijay, and Rahul soon find themselves in the center of a stunning and creative resistance movement against the government. Simultaneously, they courageously pursue their personal dreams in a society that rejects them for their poverty, address, accents, and gender. Against the backdrop of the impending demolition, the personal and the political merge more and more as the protagonists come of age in unexpected and sometimes tragic ways.
