The Boy Who Carried the Morning

"The Boy Who Carried the Morning" follows Arun, a cheerful boy born in a humble mud-brick home, whose happiness knows no bounds despite poverty and challenges.

Through the eyes of villagers young and old, including those who have long forgotten how to smile, Arun teaches that true happiness lies in self-reflection and the courage to see the light within.
