Description

Set in a small fishing village, this neo-realist drama captures the daily struggles of impoverished fishermen as they navigate harsh economic realities and oppressive systems. Rooted in poetic storytelling, the film explores themes of resilience, community, and survival against a backdrop of natural beauty. With a screenplay by a renowned poet and inspired by a celebrated Bengali writer, it remains a poignant portrayal of social inequity, celebrated for its artistic depth and historical significance in South Asian cinema.
