Sinekatalog’s take

A seemingly passive young man arrives in Dhaka from a rural area looking for work and a better life. The drama is observant and unflashy, giving the city and its pressures a strong presence. For viewers who like quiet, social-realist storytelling from South Asia.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
