A boy of eight lives in Delhi. His home is in a slum. There is no toilet in the neighbourhood. People have to relieve themselves in the open. The boy is ashamed and uncomfortable about it. He wants a toilet of his own. The wish looks simple to him. What stands in front of him, though, is a whole system. The council takes no interest and officials point at one another. His family think the matter unimportant. The boy does not give it up. He tries to find a way on his own. The more he keeps at it, the larger the matter grows. The film tells this through the eyes of a child. Paoli Dam and Ranvir Shorey appear in the hundred and fourteen minute film, an Indian production Nila Madhab Panda finished in 2018.
