The Insects (1996)

On a tiny river island in southern Bangladesh, life is tough, and every day feels like a fight to survive. The villagers live in fragile homes, battling floods, poverty, and the indifference of the world around them. Like insects and spiders in their small, overlooked corners, they cling to life, love, and hope, finding small victories and quiet courage in the face of constant hardship.
