Purgatory was one of the four film shown at the Melbourne Film Festival organised by the Bangladeshi community in Melbourne in July 2008.
Purgatory is a story about feelings of love, emotion, pain and lonliness. The story reveals the impact on an individual when he looses the main source of his hapiness, his family. It’s about what happens to a person when his life becomes empty in a twinkle of an eye. Shams’s life is a cruel fusion of past and present only, He sees no future.
