living without a country

In spite of living on the edge of the world and getting trapped in an extra-ordinary situation, Kofur, an ordinary migrant laborer, longs so deep for an identity and human dignity he has been deprived of since the very moment of his birth. In a very intimate and captivating way, the film uncovers the hitherto untold story of the incredible man and his family, who were born as no-citizens in one of the world's last stateless lands stuck in limbo on the borderland between India and Bangladesh for decades, and denied the most fundamental right to belong to any country, state or nation. Yet, despite getting caught in such an absurd predicament, they keep striving against their marooned destiny and desperately chase their long cherished dream for citizenship against all possible odds. The film traces their drive for an ‘identity' in a time of historical transition from exclusion to inclusion – from being an illegitimate, excluded ‘other' to becoming a legitimate, empowered ‘citizen' of the largest democracy in the world for the first time in their life.
