Set primarily in India and spanning the twentieth century, Filming tells a series of stories, including that of one-time prostitute, Durga, who is persuaded to give away her young son, Ashok, and that of Saleem, the son of a prostitute and a star of the silver screen. As these More...stories intertwine and overlap, they combine to create a novel that is simultaneously about the small details and the bigger picture, weaving together major historical events (including Partition, the assassination of Gandhi, the rise of photography and the Bombay film industry, and the development of barbed wire) with the everyday moments that make up the main fabric of our lives.
