While wanting to adhere to tradition and religious systems the residents of Cosmopolitan Cooperative Housing Society reveal their deep down prejudices and bigotry against each other, when a bone falls into the balcony of one its residents.

She is the person most discriminated against. She is matter-of-fact about her hardships which need to be addressed more than the religious origins of a bone.
