This documentary delves into the rich and unique ecosystem of mangroves in Karachi, Pakistan. The film follows the journey of a local fishing community who are extremely vulnerable in the face of climate change. Severe cyclonic storms, the frequency and intensity of which are increasing at an alarming rate, have adversely affected their day-to-day life. The film interlinks their precarious lives with climate change, destruction of mangroves, and coastal development projects, and the complete apathy from those in positions of power.
