Description
Summary:Set against the backdrop of the Pakistan army crackdown during Bangladesh's 1971 war, this political thriller follows a student activist who takes refuge from the Pakistan army in a local barbershop. The barbershop is run by Biharis, an Urdu-speaking minority presumed to be sympathizers of the Pakistan army during the war. The flash of the sharpened razor, the barbers' threatening banter, the knowing looks of the manager, all of this puts the man in an increasingly agitated state.
