Once Upon a Time in Calcutta

Ela (Sreelekha Mitra), a bereaved mother, wants to leave the house of her husband and start an independent life of her own. She's the daughter of a cabaret dancer, who once had an affair with the owner of an iconic theatre in North Calcutta, called Sarkarina (the first revolving stage in Asia, owned by Amar Ghosh). Ela's step-brother, Bubu (Bratya Basu) lives alone in the now abandoned theatre. Unable to secure a bank loan to buy a house of her own, Ela uses her boss, owner of a ponzi-scheme to get what she wants. Soon, however, she realizes that she's not the only scavenger in a city hungry for more.
