Tithi (Shabnoor) is the eldest daughter in a working class family living in Dhanka. Tragedy has visited the family as Tithi's father has gone blind due to a recent illness. Son Hiru is no help, as he's wasted much of the family's savings on high living and get-rich-quick schemes and refuses to get a job. With few options left to her, Tithi becomes a prostitute, using her good looks to help keep the family going. Tithi becomes a success in her field, the family is once again solvent and Hiru finally develops a sense of responsibility and opens a profitable business. Despite her family's new good fortune, Tithi must shut herself off emotionally in order to work and can no longer relate to those closest to her. Nirontor (aka Forever Flows) was screened in competition at the 2007 Rotterdam International Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
