Overview

Mumbai, the only city in the world with a forest at its heart, is where leopards roam beside highways and high-rises. When one is found dead at a newly redeveloped housing society, 8-year-old Apu's inner world begins to fracture. What starts as unease spirals into paranoia, as small everyday violences—dismissive adults, buried tensions, unseen fears—begin to close in.
