A Tale of a Naughty Girl (2002) is a cinematic adaptation of a short story by Bengali author Prafulla Roy, directed by Buddhadeb Dasgupta. The narrative revolves around Lati, a young girl whose mother, Rajani, is a prostitute working in a rural Indian brothel. Rajani's plan to marry Lati off to an affluent older man for protection and security is met with resistance from Lati, who yearns to complete her education. Refusing to compromise her dreams for material gain, Lati escapes to Calcutta. The film interweaves Lati's journey with other tales of liberation, including the stories of three young prostitutes, an elderly couple, and even the historic moon landing. Dasgupta's signature surrealistic style is evident, with whimsical elements like a bumbling cat and a wise donkey adding to the film's unique charm.
