Varanasi  is known for being a site of pilgrimage, but its dwellers know a different  side to the city.

Headstrong and feisty street dancer Rani works hard to care for her  daughter. Reclusive weaver Shahdab discovers a new world in his friendship  with an Israeli tourist. These two inhabitants of Varanasi show the diversity  and richness of human life that makes up the city’s population.  Writer-director Ritesh Sharma explores the conflicts and divisions that exist  within Indian society and presents an ideal where the city is united.
