Contents/Summary
- Summary
- “Put them in prison,” she cries. Moriom, a teenager living in rural Bangladesh, alleges to her counsellor that her parents torture her and keep her chained up. But then it’s her parents turn and they have a completely different story, one that has to do with a major trauma. In the meantime, Moriom lives in a fantasy world of revenge, she talks of coming “from Heaven. I came to destroy all bad things in the world. I'm a flower angel. I got a job at the police station. I will punish them. I will put them in jail.” The majority of crimes against women and girls in Bangladesh are not reported and so a number of sexual offenders appear on-screen at the end of the film, a powerful statement with an unpredictable conclusion.
