At the heart of a story of three generations-seen through the eyes of friends, neighbors, siblings, cousins and children-are Rudra and Reema Banerji, a retired couple living with their working daughter in a new housing complex in Kolkata. As they unravel a complex web of memory that traverses time and location-from Ranchi in India and Chattogram in Bangladesh to the Maharajah’s white tigers in Rewa and the wonder years of an international fraternity in Ethiopia, what emerges is a meditation on the vicissitudes of illness, death and separation, the centrality of family and the fractured idea of ‘home’.
