Bangladesh/France, 2020, 1 hour 40 minutes, Bengali with subtitles
When a sculptor goes to work in a remote fishing village on the Ganges Delta (a village that has now disappeared beneath the waves), he finds himself in the midst of a primal, elemental conflict between land and sea, man and nature, past and future. As changing weather patterns and the rising tide threaten their way of life some villagers blame him and his modern ideas of provoking these disastrous changes. Beautifully shot and tellingly performed this strikingly resonates far beyond this corner of the world.
