This intimate documentary unveils the hidden pulse of Jaipur, Rajasthan – a city often reduced to its grand forts and regal history. Set across a single December, the film shifts from the opulence of monarchy to the quiet resilience of everyday life, revealing stories in unassuming corners where labour, mundanity, and community thrive unseen. The documentary weaves together multiple threads – a Bangladeshi filmmaker’s experimental screening sparking cross-cultural dialogue; blanket makers whose hands spin warmth into winter; paperwallahs stirring the city awake each dawn – all intercut with gatherings where locals debate pressing issues like the impending displacement of Dholpur’s tribal people. Stitching labour to lyricism and activism to ancestral lore, the film confronts the invisible forces that sustain a city in flux.
