T The short film begins
with 'Pia', a young working
mother, receiving an early
morning call from her
father reminding her about
her mother's birthday.
The film, in Pia's narration,
goes on to speak about
how her father is the
'problem solver' and the
mother is the 'emotional
anchor'. In one such video
chat, her family seems
to have invited Pia home
for Diwali. But she passes
on the invitation saying
that she has work and
a party to host at home.
Her mother points out
that she hadn't come home
the previous year too.
Pia promptly exits the
conversation saying she
is receiving a call on
her cell phone. Her parents
are heartbroken.
A
few days before Diwali,
Pia video calls her mother
to ask for a laddoo recipe
but receives no response.
Her father too doesn't
respond, prompting the
concerned daughter to
call her neighbours to
check on them. Reassured,
she returns to the daily
grind. Pia then looks
up the recipe online and
makes the laddoos with
her daughter looking on.
She remembers her days
as a young girl spending
Diwali at home. She makes
up her mind to go home
this Diwali much to the
pleasant surprise of her
husband. The family reaches
her parental home only
to find a lock on the
door. Pia finds out from
the neighbor how much
her not visiting them
had upset her parents.
Pia and her family wait
for the parents to return
home. When they do, Pia
is relieved to see them
and gets teary-eyed.
The
film ends with a voiceover:
'Zindagi kahin bhi le
jaye, pyaar wapas le hi
aata hai' (Wherever life
may take you, love will
bring you back).
