SHOLTE: the Lamp Wick (2022)

Pradip, a skinny teenage boy, runs a tiny tea stall in his village. He is from an impoverished family. Furthermore, he's just lost his father a few days ago. He has to complete his father's funeral as well. But in Hindu culture, a picture of the late person is necessary to complete his funeral. Pradip has only a torn picture of his father. The next day, Pradip sets off to the town as soon as the first light hits the sky to make a fresh copy of the photo. All the shops are closed due to the pandemic, Pradip requests a shopkeeper to help him, and the man opens the shop and starts to make a copy of the picture. But again the police came. One police tried to take away the picture, and the ever-calm boy Pradip suddenly burst into rage and hit the police. When a man faces the risk of his most precious asset, he becomes someone else, this basic instinct of human beings was present here also. The police took Pradip to jail for hitting the police and Pradip continues to tell his utmost belief, that the funeral won't be completed without the picture.
