This short film documents the lives of a group of people who wander around the country gathering random material from trash heaps and funeral pyres, using this random material to extract minute traces of gold and silver, by which they earn their livelihood.The film takes us through their lives and aspirations. The people are compelled to work this trade because of a combination of poverty and the skill passed through generations of wanderers. Their nomadic existence all over India is mere fact, and not considered a divine curse. Poverty is almost considered a seasonal change, and indeed, nature does to some extent decide which days of the year they will inevitably starve.
