Plot

A team of young men and women in their 20s plan to go on a big trip across Bangladesh. The main protagonist of the film is Shuvro. They all hail from the mega city of Dhaka. In Bangladesh, being a conservative country, it is not common to the sight of a group consisting of both young, single men and women traveling together. Yet in this story, the women are seen to try to make it against the stream. Each had a different destination in mind: like Sundarban, Cox's Bazar, St. Martin's Island and many more places. Finally they decide to go to Daruchini Dwip. Shuvro (Riaz) has a big problem for his weak eyesight because he may be put out from the program. But finally the full team goes on a train with Shuvro.
