Director: Kamrul Ahsan Lenin
Running time: 27 mins.
Film Synopsis: Bengali word Ghraan means Smell. Ahkam and all his lively friends were from poor families who could not afford to taste kebab in the nearby restaurant. So, their fun was to have the smell of kebab when they used to pass by. But one day, he finds his poor father enjoying kebab in the same restaurant which put a big impact on his child psychology that he still could not forget.
Ghraan is a nostalgic episode of an established businessman- “Ahkam”. One day, stuck in traffic, he takes an unusual road that eventually connects his child-hood memory. His childhood snapshots of struggling family days, unfulfilled desires, friendship, relations and dreams make Ahkam nostalgic. He connects the smell of his father with own father-hood in a very stunning way.
