The film is based on William Shakespeare's Macbeth and with Mumbai underworld as its backdrop. Maqbool (Irrfan Khan) is the right-hand man of Jahangir Khan (alias Abba Ji) (Pankaj Kapoor), a powerful underworld don. Maqbool is grateful and feels a close connection and personal indebtedness to Abba Ji. The movie gains pace with two corrupt police-men (played by Om Puri and Naseeruddin Shah) predicting that Maqbool would soon take over the reins of the Mumbai Underworld from Abba Ji. These two thus play a role akin to the three witches in the original play.

Hervé Guibert met en scène les derniers moments de sa vie en utilisant des images de son quotidien de malade du sida. Les séquences sont tournées dans son appartement (dans sa chambre à coucher, sa salle de bains, ses toilettes), chez ses grand-tantes, en milieu hospitalier (lors d’une biopsie, lors d’un suivi médical) et sur l’île d'Elbe. Des entretiens avec des proches ponctuent le film. Le film mêle des images d’une grande dureté et des images poétiques. Dans Le Protocole compassionnel, Hervé Guibert écrit « Je crois que nous venons de tourner un des documentaires les plus bizarres qui soient »
