Mighty Afrin: in the time of floods (Kõikvõimas Afrin: üleujutuse aegu)

In the desolate wilderness of the disappearing islands along the mighty Brahmaputra river, a 12-year-old orphan girl named Afrin is coming of age. As if an annual ritual, heavy rainfalls and flood waters ravage Afrin’s mud island. When a severe flood submerges her home, Afrin transforms into a heroine that shows her remarkable resilience and adaptation qualities. Confronted by the urgency of the situation she begins a journey to the heart of Bangladesh to trace her father. Her quest ultimately brings Afrin face-to-face with the homeless orphans in Dhaka who struggle to make a living by handling waste, forcing her to accept her adulthood early. The naturalistic style of the real life stories is enhanced with fictional elements, resulting in poetic and powerful storytelling.
