Synopsis
Based on a classic Urdu short story "Aanandi" by writer Ghulam Abbas, the film narrates the story of a brothel, situated in the heart of a city, an area that some sanctimonious politicians want for its prime locality. Forbidden love, fraying loyalties and flagrant hypocrisy emerge when they try to drive her out.
