In a slum in Mumbai, India, a poverty-stricken family of 10 - three couples, a single woman, and three children - lives in a small, dark shack.
They are destitute because of bad government policies and their relationships are often pushed to the edge of crisis because of the lack of private space.
Their lives are presented to the world through the camera lens of young filmmaker Sheetal Agarwal.
Agarwal is a student at the City University of Hong Kong (CityU) and her documentary, Ordinary Lives, highlights the social, cultural, and political issues which affect the lives of ordinary people in Mumbai.
Their struggle to survive is set against a backdrop of a Mumbai which is trying to become a modern city.
Ordinary Lives won the Best Documentary Kodak Award at the 20th Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival Student Competition in the US in November.
