Our Home (2022) 12

India | 2022 | 86 min.

Belonging to an isolated fishing community on Loktak Lake, Chaoren makes the best use of his exclusive existence by excelling in school. When the canoe he uses every day to attend school must be sold off because of his father’s illness, his spirit is not dampened. He covers the long distance from his shanty floating hut to school by swimming. But when the Government issues an eviction notice demanding Chaoren’s family to leave their home, his dreams are left with the angst of a displaced person.
