Morning Glow
The year in 1947. Arunprava, a young woman is trapped all alone with her infant daughter and four year old son in Dhaka amidst the chaos, confusion and mayhem of the Partition of the India. With the sudden and brutal vivisection of the country, her beloved city now exists on the Pakistani side of the map. Dhaka burns in the hunger and flames of communal riots, human values give way to treachery and deceit and a bloodbath of human bodies paints the streets of the city. With her husband on the Indian side, she undertakes an ambitious journey in a rickety bus along with a motley crew of strangers to crossover to the Indian side.
But little does she know that the journey will change her life forever. As she travels from Dhaka city into the remotest parts of Bengal’s landscape, through encounters with bandits, communal rioters, and religious fanatics, she carries with her the hope of crossing over to the other side to meet her husband.
Inspired by a true story, In the Morning Glow recreates the extraordinary tale of one woman’s journey amidst the largest mass migration of human population till date.
