A haunting tale of two intertwined journeys – a child’s wait for his mother in Delhi and a woman’s fading memory in Germany. Raj Kamal Jha masterfully explores India’s tragedy of violence against women, challenging our complicity in a culture of toxic masculinity. A heartbreaking story of loss, memory, and the enduring power of love.
