Synopsis

Siva is an ex-con who served eight years in jail. Finally free from prison, he must pick up the pieces of his shattered life. It isn’t easy. His wife has remarried and taken his daughter elsewhere. He has a place to sleep but it is on the floor of his mother’s apartment. He has a job but earns a pittance as a funeral procession mourner. People from his old life, even his mother, refuse to talk to him because of what he has done. He seethes with rage at his situation, especially when faced with the discrimination his Indian ethnicity brings him. Siva walks the streets, searching for a way to reconnect with his ex-wife and daughter and it is on the streets he befriends Chen Chen, a Chinese immigrant who works as a prostitute to provide money for her daughter. The two experience brief moments of happiness, but will it last?
