The little girl loves to draw. With love for her sister and a strong desire to be with her, she wants to capture their moments through her paintings. She remembers the impish-sugary moments they've spent together while she paints. Through the countless questions in children's minds, the longing to find affection, emptiness, and siblinghood has been portrayed in the short film 'Rikto'.

Original Language

ছোট মেয়েটি ছবি আঁকতে খুব পছন্দ করে। দিদির প্রতি ভালোবাসা আর দিদির সঙ্গ পাবার প্রবল ইচ্ছেকে সে তার আঁকা ছবির মাধ্যমে ফ্রেমবন্দী করে রাখতে চায়। ছবি আকাঁর ফাঁকে ফাঁকে তার দিদির সাথে কাটানো দুষ্টু-মিষ্টি মুহুর্তের কথাগুলো বারবার মনে পড়ে। একটি শিশু মনের হাজারও প্রশ্নের মাধ্যমে দিদির প্রতি মায়া, শুন্যতা ও দিদিকে খুজে পাবার আকুতি ফুটে উঠেছে 'রিক্ত' স্বল্পদৈর্ঘ্য চলচ্চিত্রে।
