SHEKOR: AN EMOTIONAL TALE OF IDENTITY AND BELONGING
Directed by: Proshoon Rahmaan
Production Company: Imation Creator (Bangladesh)
Logline
When a Bangladeshi immigrant takes his child on a journey to rediscover his roots, he expects reunion—but what he finds instead challenges everything he thought he knew about home and identity.
Synopsis
After a decade in Canada, Akash returns to Bangladesh with his child, hoping to reconnect with his past. But time has changed everything—relationships have faded, and home no longer feels the same. As he revisits his roots, he struggles with identity, belonging, and the emotional weight of migration. Torn between two worlds, he realizes that home isn’t just a place but a feeling reshaped by time. The Roots is a poignant exploration of nostalgia, loss, and the silent struggles of those who leave—and the even greater challenge of coming back.
ভাবার্থ ও প্রেক্ষাপট (Thematic Introduction)
জীবনের ডাকে আমরা শেকড় বিচ্ছিন্ন হই, তারপর আবার খুঁজে ফিরি সেই সোঁদা মাটির গন্ধ, যেখানে আমরা জন্মেছিলাম, প্রথম চোখ মেলে তাকিয়েছিলাম, প্রথম ভালোবাসার স্পর্শে আলোড়িত হয়েছিলাম। ‘শেকড়’ হলো মাটির টানে সেই ফেলে আসা জীবনের দিকে আরেকবার ফিরে তাকানোর চেষ্টার আন্তরিক অনুবাদ।
