Roid (2026) is a Bangladeshi mystery-drama film directed by Mejbaur Rahman Sumon, offering a profound allegorical narrative. The story centers on Shadhu, a poor tenant farmer in rural Bangladesh, and his 'mad wife' (Sadhur Bou), who he repeatedly attempts to abandon, only for her to mysteriously return, seemingly bound by fate to a palm tree near their home. The film is described as a folk tale and fable, drawing parallels to the biblical story of Adam and Eve and themes of desire, attachment, and the complexities of human nature within traditional structures. With its evocative cinematography and timeless setting, 'Roid' explores psychological depth and rural life, aiming for a mature audience interested in contemplative storytelling rather than straightforward realism. The film has been selected for prestigious international festivals, including the International Film Festival Rotterdam and the Seattle International Film Festival.
