Synopsis:
Once upon a time… there was this forest of faith. A sacred grove that held in its heart secrets of a bygone era; expressed through a rich treasure trove of folklores and traditions… A forest that runs in the blood of its people… A forest of conflicts, which tradition named Mangerbani. While no-one could deny that the forest was there because it was there for everyone to see, whether it could be defined as a forest became a big bone of contention. Maybe that’s because land comes at a premium here; because if it is not a forest, there’s no need to conserve it; because developers are waiting to pounce on it, and they mean big money; and maybe because there’s no one to really prevent them, because “this is not a forest.” The fate of Mangerbani seems to be already sealed. A forest of conflict that’s all set to die a dusty death… It’s already a lost forest; a forest that isn’t there.
