Megh Bristir Molat Tells the tale of a broken family and a blossoming relationship between a boy and her stepsister as they struggle amidst a cruel father .

Surrounded by endless forest, close by a river, a small community exists where everyone seems to lead idyllic lives. After a few years away, Johanna returns to the village, and becomes aware that things have changed. William, a writer, has inherited his grandfather's house. Gradually, he starts to get the feeling that the circumstances surrounding Vladimir's death are more complicated than they initially appear.

Rumrunner Babe Callahan uses his married brother George's home as a front for his operations. George's wife Carrie, unaware of the arrangement, runs a restaurant in part of the large house owned by her father, captain of the local ferry for while George collects the fares. George proves to be a bigger scoundrel than his bootlegging brother when he steals money from the fares to buy jewelry to purchase the affections of waitress Jennie. When a government official, Kelly, investigates the house's cellar, George kills him and hides the body in an apple bin. Prohibition officers arrive searching for Kelly but find instead trucks with false bottoms. The officials leave, staking-out nearby. Babe's first instinct is to flee, but he remains to protect Carrie and the children. George loads the trucks with the body and liquor, and he takes two of the children to avert suspicion. Carrie frantically enlists Babe's aid. A wild chase culminates with George plunging over a cliff to his death but not before Babe, racing alongside, rescues the children. Babe is arrested but promises Carrie he will return to her.

"Genesis" is the story of stories, an eloquent retelling of the first book of the Bible and a theatrical tour de force. With remarkable energy and a gift for storytelling that can prickle the back of your neck, McLean captures the humor and pathos in Genesis' dramatic sweep from Eden to Babel, from the immense flood of Noah to Abraham's heart-cleaving sacrifice of his son Isaac, from the epic destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah to Jacob's soul-wounding wrestling match with the Angel of God. This is a remarkable and unforgettable one-man theatrical account of the Bible's book of Genesis. It is retold by dramatic speaker and awesome storyteller Max McLean. The event took place at Truman College in Chicago, Illinois, with background sounds and lighting emphasizing the stories told from Genesis. From creation to the Garden of Eden and Noah building the Ark, you will be enthralled by McLean's retelling. He moves on to the stories of Lot, Ishmael and Isaac, and Jacob and Esau. He also clearly tells the story of Abraham. He will keep your attention through story after story, which are divided into six sessions. Taken from the NIV version of the Bible, McLean brings the book of Genesis to life on the stage with this dramatic presentation, which earns the Dove "Faith-Friendly" Seal of approval for ages 12 and up.
