experimental · Short Films · bengali
Completely devoid of any dialogue or verbal exchanges, the film presents a story of two unlikely characters - a young school-girl, and her bully who waylays her every day. He eats her tiffin, reducing the poor girl to misery and tears. She tries everything within her might to fight back but to little avail.
One day, in the most unexpected manner, she discovers a truth about his life that completely changes her approach to the situation. A single act of kindness leads to an important development soon after. Further portrayed by a notable performance from its youngest cast member, a story of empathy, and friendship comes into being once the masks slip off, underlines the film.
