Plot
[edit | edit source]The word 'fair' means happiness and festivity. But amid the festivities, there are people experiencing misfortune. Shonai, Boshir, Dalimon, Rustom, Bonosribala and Chayanajan are among them, and Kitonkhola is their story. The contrast between rural culture and festivities and the harsh reality of their daily struggle is striking. This harsh reality forces Bonosribala to take her own life. Shonai, Boshir, Chayanjan and Rustom are perplexed by their profession. Darkness looms around them.
