Noona Pani

synopsis

‘Noona Paani: Near to Life' is a story of people who do not have a tale worth telling—at least by themselves. Affected by the impact of climate change, trauma of internal migration and dislocation, silent cries for self-identity, the film tells the story of some rural but universal characters. They have a life to live but no command of their own destiny.

Romba, Doshpai and Krishna represents life in a small village of Botkhali, near the Sundarbans, Southwestern Bangladesh.

All three protagonists are intertwined with each other through the village, loneliness, desperation and their fight for their right. They want an identity; a future in the village but the lack of support renders them unable to challenge authority.
