SYNOPSIS

Bridge is a portrait of a teenage girl who lives on the banks of a tributary of the Brahmaputra River and fights for her empowerment. The mighty Brahmaputra River and its tributaries flood villages and ruin crops every year, but still the people love the river and its fertile valley. Every year, after the floods, a new life begins. The film draws attention to the agony of the people who lose everything every year, but who never cease to struggle, without giving in to despair, against the daily problems and obstacles that fate has in store for them.
