In the Himalayan Mountain range, a rural village loses its inhabitants to the city’s allure while an elderly couple, Padam Singh and Tulsi, live in desolate isolation. Their days are filled with routine and occasional humour as they mask their loneliness. Their son’s absence gnaws at them, and when a letter arrives promising his return, it reignites their hearts with joy and anticipation. However, the reunion does not unfold as expected, shattering their hopes. As the film climaxes, the spectator is confronted with a more rueful plight, deeply engaging the audience’s empathy.
Padam en Tulsi dreigen op hun oude dag alleen achter te blijven in hun dorpje in het Himalayagebergte. De andere bewoners verlaten de plek voor de grote stad. Hoop infiltreert hun leven wanneer ze een brief ontvangen van hun verloren zoon Hariya. Het koppel kijkt reikhalzend uit naar het langverwachte weerzien, maar de tijd dringt.
