In the winter of 2012, the historic port town of Kochi, Kerala began the process of creating the largest art exhibition in India, and the biggest contemporary art exhibition in Asia. Filmmaker Hattie Bowering follows big name Indian and international artists' attempts at creating new and ambitious works of art to put inside the Kochi-Muziris Biennale despite a series of roadblocks that jeopardize the exhibition from opening.
