JEEYAA JURIR XUBAAXFrom the plaque of an accidentally discovered burial at a remote riverside it transpires that something happened to a long lost person in the hands of the British. It is assumed that he was a freedom fighter. Public opinion is formed that he is a martyr and he needs to be restored to his rightful place in the society in his imminent birth centenary. In an attempt to wrest political advantage, the government declares that a statue of the great martyr will be erected in his honour. . But there is no reference not even a photograph which can form the basis of the statue. The elderly people make the effort even more confusing with their betraying memories. . The children in the family notice the dilemma and swing into action in their own creative, imaginative and innovative ways. They delve into their bookish knowledge that hereditary characteristics are passed onto generations genetically. They examine the faces of the family members to discover similarity and commonality. With photographs of the sons, grandsons, great grandsons and mothers they try to create the 'probable' person. But gradually they discover that a real man is found in his works only and they try to discover and evaluate his deeds. While they are immersed in their mission, the older people are busy in digging out orthodox caste matters, the youths are busy more in the celebration aspects and the government is busy in trying to score political issues. . After a lot of frantic activity, they think that they have found the real man and give shape to their understanding in the form of a drama presentation. . People get a peep into the past of a person-of the village- of the times- a mirror to see themselves- all these through the creative brilliance of young minds in a healthy family ambience. . This is a film, surreal in a sense, about the past by the future in the present
