In 1993, Bombay is on the verge of being torn apart by racial violence. Ten-year-old Chamdi has rarely ventured outside his orphanage, and entertains an idyllic fantasy of what the city is like - a paradise he calls Kahunsha, "the city of no sadness". But when he runs away to search for his long-lost father, he is thrust into the chaos of the streets, alone, possessing only the blood-stained cloth he was left in as a baby. Chamdi struggles for survival in the harsh streets. But when he is caught up in the beginnings of the savage violence that will soon engulf the city, his dreams confront reality, and Chamdi finds himself growing up very fast.
