Set in the overlooked margins of urban India, Basti: Life in Scrap follows a 24-year-old scrap worker navigating a life shaped by poverty, caste, and quiet resilience. Surrounded by society’s discarded remains, he dreams of dignity beyond his circumstances. His world shifts when he falls in love with a girl from a privileged background, igniting hope and conflict. As their relationship faces rejection and humiliation, he is forced to confront the harsh boundaries of class and identity. The film unfolds as a raw and intimate portrayal of survival, love, and self-worth, giving voice to lives often ignored yet deeply human.
