Nissim and his brother George, together with Aharon Gabardine, who was the projectionist back in the old days, are determined to fulfill Morris' request. The same day Nissim has his dream, Avram Mandabon, Morris' brother, returns for his brother's memorial after a 25-year absence. His reappearance causes old family feuds to resurface. Seniora Mandabon, late Morris' wife, won't even speak to Avram. Following the advice of Yisrael "the Indian", considered the neighborhood authority on films, the brothers decide to screen the Indian-made local hit from years before, "Sangam", to which Seniora objects ("Nobody cares to watch old Indian movies!") and tries to convince them to screen another movie, but they insist. They eventually find out that the only print of "Sangam" is in the hands of Avram, their uncle, who refuses to give it to them. And so, as the time for Morris' memorial approaches, as well as the screening date, it seems that a clash is inevitable. In the tense days that follow, the past resurfaces and the brothers learn the secrets of their family history and the real reason why their father closed down the theater.

The rise of child abuse and rape cases in India is a reason for concern on all levels. With this film, I intend to get this issue out in the open and provide an impetus for rigorous discussion. Our trust in educational institutions and the services provided by the institutions has today become shaky, as worldwide more cases come to light where care givers/teachers/transport providers take disadvantage of the vulnerability of children in charge of them. The movie takes us on a journey of the victim's mother, her despair, and her finding her self.
