Nobody can be trusted in this world, except God, under the sky. The confidence you lay can turn into betrayal unexpectedly, and the loss created may be irreparable.
Friends and close aides can turn into foes overnight, and you could be lost in the darkness of ignorance. So, every step you take in life should to be taken with astuteness.
There’s a clear cut message conveyed by Pascoal de Chicalim in his tiatr, Hanv Goemcho Saiba: The non-Goans outnumbering Goans, in the tiny state of Goa, could be a threat to the local community in the near future, resulting in only risks.
ABOUT THE TIATR
Jorge (Francis Coelho) takes to the stage as an MLA, winning the full trust and confidence of the people in his constituency. For the various works carried out for the growth of his community, he has maintained a clean and transparent image in society.
Abiding with his wife Catherine (Sucorine) and two daughters, Rachel (Jasmine) and Melisa (Velbe), Jorge carries out his routine tasks diligently. His brother, Armand (Justiano Fernandes), serves in the Indian Army and comes home for a brief holiday.
Umpteen tasks can never be handled successfully unless you employ people, who are trustworthy. Jorge seeks help from Pillai (Pascoal de Chicalim), a non-Goan, and he works as his personal assistant.
But, will Pillai work honestly for his MLA? Will he live up to the clean image of his master? Or, will the PA’s malpractices, over a period of time, equally tarnish the reputation of Jorge?
Check the developments on stage to understand who acts wisely and who is at a loss in the long run. Twists and turns in the tiatr make the viewing interesting.
