In a mix of documentary, animation and art cinema, the director and protagonist, Lukas Zeilinger, delves into the slums of Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, one of the poorest areas in the world. What begins as the cinematographic accompaniment of a graffiti workshop in the slums of Dhaka evolves into a real documentary thriller about the real scourge of the country: the corrupt Bangladeshi elite, which enriches itself at the expense of the poverty of its inhabitants. Painting Dhaka is a film about power and powerlessness, and how to overcome them through the emancipating power of art.
