Behind billboards next to Mumbai International Airport that read "Forever Beautiful," residents of the slum Anawadi dream of a better life from time to time. Under the appearance of urban prosperity, they are like most people in the world, working hard for their dreams. However, they can't grasp anything, and the slightest change in an ordinary day is enough to tear their lives apart.
