Heavily inspired by the slums of Mumbai, this set features a small residential lane. The street is lined with the fronts of dingy homes and balconies. There is a general lack of lighting, the path is unpaved, and there is abundant cheap tin and wood to showcase the rough neighbourhood. The tea shop is detailed in the style of slums. We constructed it for the first short film in the curriculum in which an NGO interviewed the people living in this slum to help them fund their children's education.
The 4 years old child in the family that is interviewed likes mobile gaming in his father’s cheap phone and spends his time watching TV all day. He is given some books and crayons by the interns and his attention shifts to the textbooks from TV. The NGO then offers to fund the child's education. The set has one functional house and two functional shops. Every other house in the lane is not functional and is only a façade. The only restroom in the set is one public toilet at the end of the lane.
