Vishnu, the odd-job man in a Mumbai apartment block, lies dying on a staircase landing. Fevered, he looks back on his love affair, while all around him is played out the drama of the apartment block dwellers: bickering over shared kitchens, obsession, dreaming, elopement? To ignite this mix of social and religious differences comes a pronouncement that Vishnu is no ordinary man.
