Synopsis
Eco-friendly, non-polluting, fast, built for safety and utilitarian: these are some of the terms that encapsulate what trams should be identified with. Today, tram systems are being promoted and revived elsewhere in the world for the aforementioned reasons. Au contraire in India, based on a misguided repute, they are suffering a slow death.
The film aims to raise deliberation, debate and discussion as to whether the existence of these neglected and often criticised heritage heirlooms make any sense in the present and the imminent future.
