Synopsis
Shalim is one of the 10,000 rickshaw drivers who pull their live cargo barefoot through the streets of Calcutta. At 50, the tawny Shalim is by far not the oldest. His colleague and friend Husein is already 75. We follow Shalim as he negotiates his way through the merciless traffic in the overcrowded Calcutta, where trains regurgitate new fortune-hunters on a daily basis. Shalim works hard for his family. His dream is to one day buy a motorized rickshaw, so that he can earn more money, and ultimately, purchase a house. But reality is tough, and sickness in his family ensures that his hard-earned money is spent in ways that are unexpected.
