The movie tells the story of the little girl, Torsha and her friends in a top-notch school as well as a bunch of kids in the slum. It’s a movie of friendship crossing all boundaries, unstoppable like a river.
A river symbolizes life, moving at its own pace, full of vitality. One such river, Torsha, is a prime river in the north of the West Bengal state in India and moves to Bangladesh. Our story revolves around the lives of fishermen in a slum adjacent to the banks of Torsha. A big blow is dealt to the slum residents when a government directive, by the order of the District Magistrate arrives, asking them to vacate the slum built over Government land. They worry that this would mean losing their jobs. That is when the namesake Torsha, the little daughter of the District Magistrate comes to the fishermen’s rescue. “Torsha Ekti Nadir Naam” is a story of childhood simplicity that sees beyond discrimination of caste, creed or religion. Our world may be fragmented in ‘classes’, that confine children to their societal circles. But this film urges viewers to see the world through children’s eyes. Children in the movie through their playfulness, thinking, and activities can help the viewers to win over their inner conflicts for a peaceful living in the world.
