Description: Khokon, the cherished only child of a widow, becomes his mother’s sole solace after the loss of her husband. A bright and talented student at Nilgiri Bohumukhi High School, Khokon excels in academics, sports, and music, earning the admiration of his teachers and peers, including school clerk Abbus Mia, maid Anguri, and pickle vendor Surot Ali. Abbus Mia, in particular, holds a special fondness for the boy.
As Eid-ul-Azha approaches, Khokon and his mother plan to visit his maternal grandfather’s house. The school closes for an 11-day holiday, and the students, including Khokon, leave with excitement. However, Khokon’s car is delayed, forcing him to wait while others depart. Unnoticed, he returns to the school compound to use the toilet. Meanwhile, Abbus Mia, assuming everyone has left, locks the doors, unknowingly trapping Khokon inside the toilet.
Desperate for help, Khokon calls out, but his cries go unheard. Over time, his physical and mental strength wanes as he remains confined. He overhears announcements about his disappearance and the sounds of children playing outside, yet he is powerless to escape. Isolated and terrified, Khokon begins to hallucinate due to hunger and thirst. His pleas for rescue echo futilely within the walls, marking a tragic struggle for survival.
