After breaking his brother’s motorbike, Krishna, 11, is sent to a travelling circus to earn money for the repairs. However, he soon ends up in the streets of Bombay’s slums. There, he befriends a drug dealer and a young sex worker, while trying to make enough money to repay his debt to his family.
A film about the hope and survival in the chaotic dark underbelly of Mumbai, this debut feature of leading Indian-American filmmaker Mira Nair won her the Camera d’Or at the 1988 Cannes Film Festival. With deep empathy and honesty, she creates a remarkably realistic picture of the street world.
