Shahryar, a recent graduate student and father of nine-year-old Anna, must leave the United States and return to Bangladesh when his visa expires. In their last weeks together, the father tells his daughter the history of his country, intertwining it with family legends. Pictures come to life before the girl’s eyes: the tragedy of a fishing village on the shores of the Bay of Bengal, swept off the face of the earth by a hurricane of terrifying force… the fate of a Japanese pilot whose plane was shot down in those places during World War II… and the despair of a married couple from Calcutta, who had to leave everything and flee to East Pakistan after the partition of India… Sometimes life also resembles a hurricane, whirling human destinies in a mad whirlwind – only love, family and concern for the future of children will help to survive in it.
