Visions of Calcutta is a trip around the streets of an overpopulated and unequal city. A city that drags a huge marginal population, a contrast of people and cultures from different places. Those who have always been there share the city with the newcomers, different ways of looking at the present and establishing a future.
Streets full of life and activity, people who turn into characters. Different dreams and happiness set them apart, but others bring them together, like hope. With a simple motto: to live a humble life, keeping their dignity day by day, looking at an uncertain tomorrow.
The nature of a metropolis that imprints an exasperating rhythm, with the continuous movement of its citizens. Long working hours and much street life. This is the everyday pace of the long lost capital, a city that lives great memories and perhaps misses the old times.
Among time, standing still, corners and elements, unreal to us, show the daily and fleeting moments that make their lives meaningful. Little sighs, resting instants full of peace and meditation, and suddenly, also full of vulgarity, take us to a constant named Calcutta.
