Storyline
During the war in 1971, Meher falls in love with a soldier from the enemy side. When her love is discovered, she is shamed and silenced by her family and society. Today 38 years after the war, Meher has a visitor she cannot turn down. Sarah-a 'war-child,' Meher's cousin Neela's daughter, who was given away for adoption has come back to piece together her past. Together, these two women must re-tell history through their stories in order to cut through the stigmas and walk into light. Written by Rubaiyat Hossain

The story of the movie has been written to create a noise so that people will go to theatre to watch it. So by mistake if someone watch it, he/she will never watch the movie in his/her life time ever. Not only the movie fails to capture true sufferings of the women in Bangladesh's 1971 Liberation War, but also the poor direction mainly because of the inexperienced director made the film nothing but a 'garbage'. I have never rated a movie as awful but it was easy to do so with this one. Bad acting by the cast. Bad scenarios. Bad writing. Bad music score except only one song. The camera work is very slow. The plot has no sense at all. It is just confusion.
