Calcutta 71
The spirit of a condemned 20-year-old student wanders through time, linking together four stories of people struggling for survival in this gritty meditation on poverty, natural disaster and political strife in India.

Young boys smuggle rice, and politicians pity the poor while living in the lap of luxury.
