The film follows the lives and creative journeys of 14 cinematographers, who worked primarily in the Mumbai film industry. Between these 14 people, they have filmed over 800 movies and over 15,000 commercials, between the early 1960s and until the previous decade. The film captures their early years and the serendipitous events that chart the emotional journeys of professionals; and the inevitability and mortality of their lives
