This is a lovely animation film expressing so subtly,simply and beautifully the poignance of partition. A briefing: Inspired by a true story during the partition of the Indian Empire into India and Pakistan in 1947, this piece follows Bir, a Hindu boy waiting to board a train from Pakistan to India with his mother. When a violent turn of events separates them, and he gets lost in the middle of a communal riot, Bir must find his mother before it’s too late. Directed & Animated By: Arjun Rihan Partition was so unfortunate... around a million people were killed and separated from families in the communal riots... I got totally engrossed in this simple story of a young Hindu boy who has a chance to encounter a stranger amidst the turbulent partition of India circa 1947.Loved the expressions... esp 354 - 410.. the comfort, bonding, understanding of the situation, maturity... Hats off to you Arjun!
