Plot summary
Four cities provide the setting: Mumbai, New York City, Moscow and Mexico City. In each, the film visits districts where people get by with little. Their survival depends on resourcefulness and imagination, and the twelve chapters examine work, poverty, violence, love and sex. The documentary records ingenuity and dignity in the face of hardship, and the shared hope for a better life.
