Cyrus and his family are Parsi, followers of a rarely practiced, politically neutral, religion in India. They are middle class and live quietly in a housing development, that is mostly Muslim. One morning in 2002, the India's peace is rocked beyond measure, as a fire erupts in a train killing 58 Hindus. Within 24 hours, 100,000 Hindu citizens storm into Ahmedabad. Cyrus battles for his sanity as he desperately searches for his son… Based on a true story and recognized with national awards, this film is a must see for those who ask what Bollywood films never show.
