Summary
Orphaned Bhopal slum resident Animal, who used to be human before an industrial chemical accident left his bones twisted like a hairpin, and who walks on all fours, describes the events surrounding the impending trial of the Kampani responsible for… the accident. He falls in with a group led by musician Somraj; Somraj's daughter, Nisha; and Nisha's boyfriend, Saint Zafar. Tensions mount as suspicious doctor Elli Barber opens a clinic in the slums, lawyers from the Kampani arrive to negotiate a settlement, and Animal, desperately in love with Nisha, copes with his desires and frustrations. Some descriptions of sex and violence, explicit strong language. 2007.
