"When the past is lost, even a stranger can feel like home."
Overview
On his daughter’s birthday, Das chooses not to return home. Instead, he visits Yakob—an elderly man slowly losing his memory. Introducing himself as Yakob’s long-lost son, Yusuf, Das spends the day with him, carefully nurturing conversations and reliving borrowed memories. As they walk, talk, and share quiet moments, a fragile bond begins to form—tender, unexpected, and deeply human.
