    Childhood is considered to be the best time of one’s life. What if you get a chance to live it once more with a five-year-old?
    Misry, a naughty five-year-old girl, lives with her parents in a B.S.F border outpost near Indo-Bangladesh border. But with no schools and friends she feels very lonely. She tries to befriend some local village kids. But they find her incompetent in their rural antics. They nickname her Messy as most of the time she messes up their plan. Can Misry really be a part of the gang?
    Set in the early eighties, join Misry in the adventures of her life.
