Johanna Lecklin’s The Cage (2015) is screened in the international competition of 10th International Children’s Film Festival Bangladesh, held from January 24–30.

The Cage deals with a memory of a horrible childhood experience. A woman tells about a childhood bullying incident that she has not forgiven. She meets her bully when she is adult but does not want to see that the other has changed. The story is told in backflashes.
