Plot
[edit]The story of this film is based on social and familial realities. The central character, Tara, grows up facing adversity from childhood. Working in a circus troupe, she loses her entire family in a tragic accident and is forced to live alone by the riverside.
A new ray of hope enters Tara's life in the form of Hossain Majhi, a boatman who makes his living on the river, ferrying locals across. Gradually, a deep bond develops between them. However, their path to love is not easy—societal barriers, financial hardship, and personal struggles continuously make their journey difficult.
The film portrays love, struggle, and social realities, telling a story of finding hope even amid life's harshest truths.
