Synopsis: At the crux of the waste management system in any urban space lies the disposal of Garbage. In Hyderabad, this chore of collecting waste, segregating and disposing it is performed by few uneducated and poverty stricken groups belonging to lower castes and class. In spite of their constant drudgery to keep the city clean, they are neither recognized as Workers by the government nor valued by the society.
Shot in various parts of Hyderabad, Bread, Butter and Garbage explores the grinding work and functioning of the door-to-door garbage collection in the city. It gives an insight to how the State, for years, has withdrawn from its responsibilities in providing the garbage collectors the worker identity and entitlements. These groups of people, in the past 15 years, have set up their own enterprise of waste management and are completely depended on it for survival. While they are just about to reap the fruits of their endurance and perseverance, the Private group Ramky is all set to take over their business with the support of the State. Using personal interviews, the film presents the phenomenal case of how public-private partnership affects the livelihoods of these individuals leaving them threatened, and on the verge of displacement.

Through a series of interviews the filmmakers try to shed light on how the ideas of 'Real Man', 'Ideal Man' push the society to bring up young boys in emotionally repressive environment, leading to fragile egos and violent notions of masculinity as they grow up.
