SHANKHONAD

Abu Sayeed

Osman returns to his village of Nayanpur after 27 years of absence. He remembers the night of the terrible storm that put his family in mourning, made him an orphan and led to his exile. Osman, whose real name is Chand, does not come back to take revenge or to recover his lands, but to retrieve what is left of the images of his childhood. Mannaf Kahn, one of the village’s leading citizens, greets Osman, but grows uneasy when he discovers who the young man really is.
