Summary:As a young man, Lalon Fakir had contracted pox while on a pilgrimage. Thinking him dead, his fellow travelers performed his funeral rites and drifted his body away on a raft. A weakened Lalon was finally washed ashore and saved by a Muslim couple. Upon returning home, he found that he was no longer accepted as a member of his own caste, after having lived with Muslims and undergone funeral rites. Henceforth, Lalon embraced different religions, including Buddhist Tantricism, Hindu Vaisnavism and Islamic Sufism, expressing his thoughts and philosophies through hundreds of self-composed songs. As word of Lalon's music and lyrics spread, more people flocked towards his hermitage to learn from the great spiritual leader. Till this day, Lalon's songs are deeply influential among the Bauls, the troubadours of Bengal. The film also features performances by renowned Bauls of today. Festivals: Goa International Film Festival; Dhaka International Film Festival; Fukuoka International Film Festival; London Film Festival. NOTE: We apologize to viewers that the film has a watermark running through it. As it's a rare opportunity to see this film, we hope you can understand until a better copy can be found.
