Plot
Gour, a 7 years old country boy, can't speak properly due to speech disorder which sometimes makes him laughing stock even among his acquaintances. But his childhood is full of naughtiness and frisky activities. His eyes are filled with imperishable dreams. His tender mind believes that rice cake tree exists likewise other fruit bearing trees. From this belief he sows a rice cake, waters it and waits for the sprouting. One day to his surprise, he finds a seedling on this place, he asks to his grandmother, “Is this a rice cake tree?” She smiles and indulges which invigorates his belief. He fantasizes a new world where various rice cake trees are supposed to exist. Infantile mind wants to wing to that land. Considering his imagination is real, one day, Gour runs away from his village and catches a train as if it will carry him to his dreamland.
