The narrative explores a survival story of some Bangladeshis, where a group of workers in 2011 in search of job undergoes in contrast to their journey from Dhaka to Malaysia through some different devastating survival situation. The name of the film is taken from this journey, which is justified as the main conflict emerges from the issue written on JATRA. The protagonist and other characters make it through the historical truth, ‘migration inherits human civilization’ which still remains the same and play a catalyst role in today’s reality. In the movie, our main protagonist has faced much complexity that gives dramatic progress of the story that has extreme potential to hook.
