Description
Set in a small fishing village near Bombay, two siblings, Lila and Hari, face the challenge of supporting their family as their mother falls ill and their father struggles with alcoholism. At ages 13 and 12, they must navigate life’s hardships while caring for their two younger sisters. When Hari leaves for Bombay in search of work, Lila takes on the responsibility of keeping the family together. The story highlights poverty but also showcases the resilience and strength of familial bonds in difficult circumstances.
