Synopsis:
And haply the Queen -Moon is on her throne Cluster`d around by all her starry Fays."
"A street urchin watches the moon intently… it is in full glory… veiled in its many splendours… can
he reach it? Is it possible for a mortal soul to touch even slightly the hem of its white incandescent
gown?
Once upon a time in KOLKATA there lived a lonely little boy called Tubelight (Moon). His daily routine
included washing yellow taxis and making them sparkle like pure gold. But where is the twinkle in his
lonely life? Love comes to his rescue… the boy falls in love with queen of the night sky-the Moon.
With a single-minded determination, he tries to get hold of this miracle straight from the sky but in
vain. He realizes it is impossible. Is pure love always unrequited? An award-winning Bengali short
film about the little boy`s love for the moon told through vividly lucid visuals in the backdrop of the
languid city of Kolkata suddenly plunged into darkness.
