The Gujarat earthquake in January 2001 devastated the ancient city of Bhuj in the Kutch district, killing 25,000 of the city`s 150,000 residents. The director and her cameraman husband visited the city repeatedly during a one-year period to document the recovery of the survivors: a rickshaw driver and his family, a former maharajah, a doctor, and many others. Despite having lost the basic necessities of life in the 150-second earthquake, people remain undaunted and humble. Their resilience in moving forward while coming to terms with the absurdity of the disaster is deeply moving.
