About the film
What is the difference between a house and a home? What did "stay at home" mean for the city's houseless when the pandemic struck the country, and we were forced into a short-notice lockdown? People from the houseless population in Mumbai speak about their experiences with local government officials and policies and ask about their rights as citizens. The questions linger with us as we struggle to find adequate answers for the houseless community, as they navigate their way through the pandemic.
