A farewell to the generation who grew up making 35mm movies. We watch a mock attempt to produce the last celluloid film in Bangladesh investigating the emotion and nostalgia for the good old days of celluloid cinema that have faded into obsolescence.

It is a film about a left wing leader, who like a Greek tragic character, fought against his destiny all along his life. While portraying the man’s struggles the film deals with the anti-British Swadeshi movement, the 1947 Partition of India, Tebhaga movement of the Bengal peasants, creation of Pakistan, killing of the political prisoners inside jail in Rajshahi and finally the liberation war of Bangladesh against Pakistan in 1971. The film also reveals the love and sacrifices of this star-crossed man.
