Amrita Chatterjee

Hiraeth- where the heart belongs Amrita Chatterjee

11-year-old Amodini is bereft of the power of speech or hearing. She lives in Chilapata, a forest village in the Dooars region of North Bengal, India. Though deprived of these abilities, she possesses a unique power to connect with animals. When a forest fire breaks out leading to an elephant rampage which threatens to destroy her village, Amodini comes to the rescue. As the elephants leave for the forest, Amodini accompanies them. Shrikant, an investigative journalist, reaches Chilapata to scavenge the truth behind this rare incident. In his journey, Shrikant unveils an evil nexus that was building deep inroads in the simple village of Chilapata threatening its very existence. Can Shrikant help the village realise its mistakes and will Amodini be able to help him in his mission? Can they end the Hiraeth they have both been searching for?
