A story of a city which lost its green scape. In this city there is no room left for a single jackfruit tree. Owner has to cut it down, to make way for the new city that is emerging. We gain space for people, but what we lose is human space. It’s a story of ever-changing Dhaka city and it’s appetite for destruction.
