Under Construction - Film Details

This fiction film revolves around a Mullah called Majid and how he cons the people of his village by establishing a false shrine. As Majid oversteps the boundaries of humanity, his make-believe creation is destroyed by the powerful forces of nature, as a great flood sweeps it all away.

Written by Syed Waliullah in 1948, ‘Lalasu’ or ‘A Tree Without Roots’, is the most remarkable novel written about the rural Muslim community of East Bengal (now Bangladesh). In present day Bangladesh, Syed Waliullah is widely regarded as a writer of profound insight.
