In the heart of Mumbai lives Sheikh Rehman, the city's last painter of film posters. He runs his studio in the old masters' style -- behind the screen of an old Hindi-Film cinema. There, Rehman is both artist and guru, comedian and philosopher. The slow decline of the art form puts Rehman's world at risk. With modern film posters being printed on plastic and his audience kept away by new high-rise buildings, Rehman refuses to give up his struggle.
