Two men from South Asia meet on a New York subway train. One is seeking the American dream and in the process has abandoned his family and culture. The other, now disillusioned by material dreams of success, yearns for meaning and memories from his childhood. Prashant Bhargava’s award-winning short film was described as “an elegant and poetic evocation of immigrant angst, memory and haunted spirituality” by the Village Voice.

As a part of the post-retirement plan, Sulochna and Pradeep have decided to go minimalist. Along with all other things they have decided to let go of are the letters they wrote to each other. For Sulochna, these letters have been her only connection with Pradeep while he was at his postings. The letters bring back past memories which in turn make Sulochna realize that in taking care of the household and kids singlehandedly, she has long ignored her own needs. Will Sulochna be able to identify and fulfill them and how?
