Plot

The story of Beero and his motley group friends is set against the impending partition of India. Beero's passage through adolescence is told through a series of vignettes involving characters who are each more eccentric than the next-wrestler, quack, prostitute; Hindu, Muslim, Sikh. But when partition becomes a reality, in a time of terror and carnage, the insane turn out be the only ones sane.
