Synopsis : AKORIK is a story about a relationship between an old man, who grew up under the umbrella of traditional Bengali Joint Family System, and a boy, who lives with his mother – a single parent. The man and the boy, from two different generations, develop an emotional bonding despite their different upbringing values and eventually share a philosophical journey together. The Film talks about disintegration of Bengali Joint Family System down the ages and how it has reduced to even Single Parenting. Disintegration of the Bengali Joint Family System is a cultural crisis for the community. Over the years, many generations have come up without knowing their roots, the outcome being severe often. Getting detached from one’s roots often leads to a fractured childhood and a confused life thereafter. The film tries to look into the situation neutrally searching an answer to a significant question- where are we heading?
