Story কাহিনী

Two neighbouring families in an Assamese village get on very well. Tora is a seven-year-old girl who lives with her parents Purna and Jonaki, while Naba and Daba are brothers in the other family, who care for an ailing, bedridden mother. A dispute over a piece of land breaks out. While the adults quarrel, Tora's voice is the only thing that can settle the matter.
