This film is about dabbawallas in the Mumbai with 20 million people, where 5000 Dabbawalas deliver each day 200,000 lunches - homemade cooking for Indian employees. The lunch containers, called tiffin-boxes, get handled by dozens of hands and travel many kilometres; by bike, by handcart, by train, afoot or on heads. The Dabbawalas' system is as good as faultless - no monsoon, no traffic chaos stops them to deliver on time. It is a logistic masterpiece which Forbes Global Magazine awarded with the Six Sigma for quality. This film was awarded the 2008 'Deutscher Wirtschaftsfilmprei s' (German Economic Film Award) in the category 'Films on Economy'.
