About this Video
The film is an intimate autobiographical documentary following a filmmaker from Kolkata as he wanders through Paris, searching for memories of his childhood and home. One day, he lands in a park where he encounters strangers gathered in music and conversations. As they speak of dreams, language, and memory, the park becomes a living crossroads of migration and longing. In communicating their dreams and memories to one another, they create a fragile but powerful sense of a shared belonging. And in that exchange, the filmmaker too finds what he had been searching for, a familiar feeling he calls home.
