Sunder Nagri (Beautiful City) is a small working class colony on the margins of India's capital city, Delhi. Most families residing here come from a community of weavers.

The families have to cope with change as well as reinvent themselves to eke out a living.The City Beautiful is the story of two families struggling to make sense of a world, which keeps pushing them to the margins. Film with English subtitles.
