Overview

After decades of working in the printing industry in Kolkata in eastern India, Tarini has reached retirement age. He spends his days at home, having declined his son’s invitation to come to the United States. Then a friend shows him a help-wanted ad. Although he has never published a book, Tarini used to tell made-up stories to his friends in his youth, and the ad for a storyteller in Ahmedabad in western India piques his interest.

A gentle, meditative film about a retired man discovering a second act to his life through storytelling. It moves at the unhurried pace of someone finding their purpose late, with quiet moments that accumulate into something moving.
