in a small village in Odisha , a quiet little girl revises her lessons in dank dimly-lit room while her crouching mother shouts from the outdoor kitchen, reminding her take to her medicines for the bouts of crippling joint pain caused by the disease she was born with. this is Ratika and Redwing’s story, one of suffering, hope but most of all, the ingenuity that’s at the core of the human spirit. beyond a documentation, this film is a wide snapshot of the beautiful state of Odisha and also an attempt at representation of a neglected people, all while being a product of our love and subject of our pride.
