From time to time, the social, political and economic environment crushes everyone. Mirbeen is the central character of this story. In her childhood, her grandmother instills in her the dream of doing something with the fairy tales of Serdihun (God of textile in Karbi tribal beliefs), which sprouts the desire to make life meaningful in her mind. But fratricidal clashes and ethnic conflicts make the entire Karbi land bloody in 2005 where Mirbeen’s small village is also not spared. Political instability disrupts their daily lives as Mirbeen’s house and village is burnt to ashes. She loses her only close friend Kaban along with many relatives. Her life becomes dark, yet she doesn’t want to give up and become a victim of circumstances as the story of Serdihun which her grandmother had instilled in her mind inspires her to make her dream come true.

The screening will open with a showing of the short film Misty (2024) from filmmaker Raja Chatterjee.
