Nakul Vaid is an actor in Mumbai. He lives with his mother in an old apartment building in Parel. With teak wood ceiling, staircase and large french windows, the house has some unique features. Bathed in the afternoon light the rooms ooze out stories and edifices of middle class life through 20th century Bombay. Parel happened to be the cinema neighborhood in the older days. This building housed the production office of 'Wadia Movietone' and actor John Cawas used to live on its first floor. Parel, a predominantly working class neighborhood, is now being transformed into high life of corporate India where a square foot could cost about 60 to 70 thousand rupees. The memories of people and their modes of living will be erased mercilessly. Nakul is caught in this strange web of progress. When the building is demolished and rebuilt, he will be the owner of a plush apartment in gentrified Parel. He cannot afford to feel sad. Memories will be lost and he has to learn to forget.
