Chittagong: The Last Stopover (2000)

Moti, a 12-year-old Bengali boy, tells us about his country and how his life has been profoundly influenced by a chance encounter with Paul Danvin, a French ship captain. Paul is in the depths of depression. He has recently watched helplessly as a bunch of pirates looted and set fire to his ship, The Alhambra. He ends up in Chittagong, Bangladesh. Without the ship, the crew and his identity papers - which were stolen from him - Paul takes the train for the capital city of Dhaka where he crosses paths with Moti and his mother Alima.
