In the chaotic city of Kolkata in India, Catherine Carr hears from the feminist Shakespeare enthusiast to the man dying of AIDS and the woman still a little bit in love with her colleague; from the father and son begging by the roadside to the teenager dreaming of Olympic success. The brief portraits have been woven together with the sounds of the city, to create an unpredictable and poetic experience of Kolkata.

This series, part of the Identity series, invites strangers to pause on their way from A to B and asks them one simple question: 鈥榃here Are You Going?鈥� The encounters reveal funny, moving, poignant and sometimes astonishing details about the lives of others.
