Bangladesh: Artist Rudro travels from the modern, overcrowded capital to a remote mangrove island. Initially welcomed by the fishermen and their guide, conflicts come to a head when the catch from fishing fails to materialise. Warm-hearted, colourful clash-of-cultures film that addresses the challenges of the modern world – global warming, modernity vs. tradition. Since filming took place in the middle of the monsoon, impressive images were created. "We were completely entranced.... Exceptionally well done, from the opening moments on the open water to the churning waves, the images and sound design conjure the ocean as a dark force with sublime beauty." Director, Film Festival London
