Rivers like Ichhamati flow down the border between the two lands. ‘Bishorjon’ is the story of love between Bangladesh and West Bengal. Pawdda is a young Hindu widow who lives in a dilapidated house. For family, all she has is her paralysed father-in-law whom she cannot abandon till death befalls him. Life goes by awaiting it.
