In the land of Sukhbaatar in the town of Dariganga, Mongolia a new member has arrived in champ Tseveen’s household. The family gets bigger with three girls already they add a long anticipated boy ‘Taivan’ into the family. After many years Taivan grows up to be quite a handsome man running after the country’s most eligible bachelorette Yagaantsetseg. But the competition for her heart doesn’t just lie in his hand, another contender Hangai the son of Baljir the rival of Tseveen tries to woo Yaagantsetseg too. This starts to shake the once quiet countryside and has everyone gossiping around town. Tseveen champ has been a nomad living further from the town and whatever distance dark secret he was hiding is now accidentally seen by Hangai. Love, betrayal, family and trust are all tested as unquestionable events begin to unravel before your eyes
This is a story about a man who risked his life to save his culture, his heritage, his language. He is now grandfather to my children and like many immigrants whose children and grandchildren do not embrace or even learn their mother tongue, he is heart broken that the sacrifices made to save his language are not appreciated or understood by the younger generation.
This is a common story for many immigrants. We are lost in translation.
As a young man in Bangladesh, grandfather was working as a journalist when a group of students actively organized and resisted Pakistan ‘s attempts to force all Bengalis to speak Urdu. This fight over the language between Bangladesh and Pakistan grew into a civil war in 1971 and 3 million people died.
Now, more than 40 years later he is wondering what the fight was all about when his own grandchildren cannot understand him.
Roll No. 56 is a film based on a 12 year old kid. That kid changes school every year due to his physical problem. The fight between his parents makes him lonely and empty from inside. Because of the situation, the kid feels suffocated in his house. At a very small age, the child starts lying, eating Gutka and stops going to school. This year too, the school feels like poison to the kid and in the end this poison starts to spread in his veins. Finally, the kid runs away from his house, his school and his city.
This is a big international child issue. Like in every other country, even in India, the number of missing children is huge. In India, every year, 7 lakh children go missing.

On December 7, 1972, NASA launched Apollo 17, a lunar mission crewed by Eugene Cernan, Ronald Evans and Harrison Schmitt. It would be the last time humans traveled beyond low Earth orbit, the last time man landed on another celestial body, and the last time man went to the moon. The Last Steps uses rare, heart-pounding footage and audio to retrace the record-setting mission.
