Director Shanti Thakur in attendance.

A self-reflexive film that tells the story of the filmmaker's Indian father, who was banished for marrying her Danish mother, via a letter that had remained unopened for 20 years. This intimate family portrait explores the inner worlds of the characters through boyhood in a paramilitary group, Muslim-Hindu riots during India’s Partition, and Denmark’s Nazi occupation during the same decade.
