“In a world, where class divides its people, where people of different backgrounds have different futures, where the rich are relaxing in their safe havens while the poor are outside trying to survive. Friendship is not something to be bought, it’s to be formed through life and hardships. This film brings together the haves and the have nots. A drama depicting the sad reality of our world. “
