(Where do I go?), but forces us to look inward at the answers we've constructed from the entertainment we consume, and the world we have built around us.

Mumbai itself plays a character, but it is not the romanticized city of dreams. It is a city of noise, construction, and obstruction. The external chaos of the city constantly interrupts their attempts at connection.
