Everyone should have equal access to water… right?

In the poorest part of Mumbai, Minni lives in a reality where water is limited to a few hours a day and the lines for the neighborhood taps are longer than the water lasts. With a sick mother and a brother sent away to a far off village farm, Minni is forced to take over her mother’s job as a maid for a wealthy Mumbai family. In her new surroundings, she discovers that water is not so scarce for everyone - the water flows freely from the taps in this apartment building and they even have a pool! Faced with this stark and unfair reality, Minni has to decide if she is willing to brave the danger of standing up for what is right.
