Bird of a Different Feather
Sonia, a 12-year-old girl with albinism, comes from a poor family in a small village near Bengaluru. Her alcoholic father almost despises her for who she is, and her mother is helpless although well-intentioned. As she begins high school (8th grade), Sonia is introduced to a new school in the city with new classmates who not only discriminate against her for her appearance but are even hostile. Furthermore, the behavior of her teacher ASHWINI, who favors the best students and relegates the struggling students to the back rows, will only make her work more difficult since, due to her poor eyesight, the girl is unable to follow the lessons on the blackboard. Will she be able to find a way to live in peace with herself and with her surroundings?
