Debut director Rezwan Sumit collected numerous awards, including a Spike Lee Fellowship, to produce this exquisite Bangladeshi drama.

The screening will be introduced by award-winning journalist. Momtaz Begum-Hossain.

Set in the stunning, unlimited vistas of coastal Bangladesh we meet Rudro, a young artist, who after the death of his father, relocates to a remote beach village to find closure and practise his art. Welcomed by the local fishermen and their leader Chairman, Rudro’s lifelike sculptures enchant the village boys and his landlord’s daughter. But when the fish shoals they rely on suddenly disappear, Rudro’s modern ideas are blamed. As a cyclone approaches, Rudro finds himself centre stage in a primal, elemental conflict between man and nature.
