A TALE OF A NAUGHTY GIRL Buddhadeb Dasgupta DVD NEW

The sweet and ironic tale of Lati, the daughter of a village prostitute who desperately seeks an education rather than following in her mother’s footsteps. But the lecherous businessman Natabar has an eye for the young girls, and he bargains with Lati’s mother to wed her still-virginal daughter. Determined to claim a better life, Lati’s mother insists she quit school despite her love of learning.

A Tale Of A Naughty Girl beautifully captures traditional Bengali life while unfolding the powerful confrontation between the restrictions of tradition and the promise of a new life.
