Synopsis

The movie tells the story of a nature loving child ''Sanatomba'' who is neglected by his parents. His mother ''Leibaklei'' goes to a nearby rice mill daily to work. Sanatomba's father ''Ibohal'' is an alcoholic who literally does nothing but routinely picks up fight with his wife. He does not believe in the idea of education shaping a child's future. These particular notion of ''Ibohal'' has serious consequences on ''Sanatomba's'' schooling and childhood. The child's future becomes more blurry when ''Leibaklei'' left for her maternal home. ''Thambal'' is a neighbour and classmate of ''Sanatomba''. Her parents etch out a plan for ''Sanatomba's'' welfare.
