Stanley Ka Dabba
Stanley's Tiffin Box
A warm, gently comedic family film about a schoolboy's struggle with poverty and the kindness of those around him, grounded in the everyday reality of childhood and social inequality.
School boy Stanley does not carry lunch, which is noticed by a teacher who forces kids to share their food with him. He soon warns Stanley that he must get a lunch box if he wants to attend school.
