Synopsis :
For several months each year hundreds of wayside performers called ‘Nats’ make the chaotic and colourful metropolis of Calcutta their temporary home. In the midst of pigs and dogs and rodents, all co-existing in blissful harmony by the rail tracks.The film takes both a macro as well as a micro view of the ‘Nat’ community of performers in the backdrop of a totally insensitive ‘mainstream’ India which seems unwilling to provide any physical space to marginals such as these.
