SYNOPSIS

She is a prostitute, lives in a slum with her only 6 years old daughter and lives in hand to mouth. There is hard lockdown in Bangladesh due to COVID-19. People are afraid of the pandemic situation and nobody moves on. POLICE don’t allow going outside from home. People from different occupation are helpless to manage their food. Everybody maintain distance for COVID restriction. As sex worker, she does not get client as well as money to manage food, even for her little daughter. Last three days they are so hungry and living on water! She is bound to get client, even knowing the life risk of COVID-19! Her daughter is waiting. How she can manage the hunger?

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

Filming is my power to make a new world. “The Hunger” is a film, where we focused the uncertainty of rootless people ask the food security along with dignity.
