Duchenne's victim film - Life (Jibon)

A personal and private story of Ron, a 12 years old boy suffering from Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy, a rare disease having no cure at sight. The disease starts from the feet and the patients become gradually cripple and handicap. In Ron, it was detected during his early childhood, now he is slowly passing through a semi-vegetable life. He is not aware of the facts but hopeful of a miraculous antidote. Although the first boy of the class, Ron's parents are incapable of planning his future.

Life as an entity is too large and complex so as to portray in a work of art. The film allows us to celebrate this ordinary family life of the boy and his mother, Biju, through catching some vignettes. Or it has chosen to draw a situation of hope against hope. Finally the film urges to accept it and lead the life with distinction.

The locale is Guwahati, a town situated in the far-east corner of India. It is shot in actual locations with real-life characters.
