One week remains before the arrival of the Chinese Prime Minister in India. Balram, a local manufacturer and businessman, sits at a laptop and writes a letter of his life to the Chinese leader: He grew up in terrible poverty from childhood with no hope of a bright future. His only dream was to become a servant of a rich man. And his dream came true when the son of a wealthy local “businessman” returns from America. Balram uses all means to become the driver of a wealthy “master”. This working with rich people environment changes the worldview of poor and mimetic people.
