Synopsis:
Mahendra, a down on his luck chain- wallah (a
destitute worker who fixes broken zippers on the street) pulls his twelve year
old son Siddharth out of school and sends him to Delhi to illegally work in a factory in order
to help support the family. When Siddharth fails to return home some weeks later,
his anxious parents fear that he may have been taken by
child-traffickers. Increasingly worried and desperate but with little
money, few resources, and no connections, Mahendra embarks on a quest across India to find
his son. In this heart wrenching tale that shows that a parents’ love for their
child is beyond the bounds of country, culture, circumstances or
economics, we join in the pursuit, hoping beyond hope that whatever has
befallen Siddharth, he will return unharmed.
