‘Makaan’ is about telling the story of the construction worker community through one’s family struggle. Their ups and downs as they navigate their daily lives are puddled with economic and social hurdles. The narrative of the film juxtaposes similar situations. It expresses differences in the way of responding through the perspectives of children and the elderly, where the children transform the hard reality. In their games, leaves are turned into money, and a ten rupee note becomes a butterfly. The film also tries to capture the essence of "workers" and their struggle in today’s modern time.
