Cycle Mahesh plot

When a lockdown is announced in India, stranded 22-year-old Mahesh decides to travel home on a rickety bicycle. He covers about 2,000 kilometers in seven days. It makes him a national media hype. Politicians promise better living conditions, neighbors joke that he can go to the Olympics and a filmmaker from Mumbai decides to make a film about Mahesh, but nothing comes of it. He is soon a poor plumber again. In a mix of fiction and non-fiction, “CycleMahesh” sketches the lack of choice in Mahesh's life, and therefore in that of millions of other workers in India.
