For his latest art installation, Rudro journeys to a remote mangrove isle on the Bangladeshi delta, a day`s boat ride and a world away from modern, crowded Dhaka. Welcomed by the local fishermen and their leader chairman, Rudro`s modern ideas and lifelike sculptures enchant the young boys and his landlord`s daughter. But when the local Ilish catch proves elusive, the elders start blaming Rudro’s idolatry for the curse of empty nets. In this vanishing land where sea and sky merge, a storm is brewing and change —welcome or not— is coming.
