THE LITTLE BOOK OF THE LITTLE MAN
|
SYNOPSIS A young boy in a small Himachali village returns to school after the lockdown to find himself struggling to learn. Through his school window, his day dreams pave several routes, forming a diary of his contemplations; circular questions, pressed flowers, the leaf of his ancestor's tree, a bird that sings in the night. As his boyhood unfolds, it is all the more befitting that the boy’s name, ’Manav’, is a Sanskrit word that means ‘Human’. |
