A tender, melancholic story about familial love and the gap between illusion and reality, set against the backdrop of 1980s India and the mythology of America.

When a young village boy discovers that his brother, long believed to be in America, has actually gone missing, he begins to invent letters on his behalf to save their mother from heartbreak, all the while searching for him.
