Description
Vimal lives with his grandmother. His parents, who are NRIs - non-resident Indians - leave him with his grandmother when he is two. Vimal grows up in Jaipur, happy and secure in the loving care of his grandmother. His parents are a blurred memory made up from short visits. When Vimal is eight, a phone call in the night turns his world topsy-turvy. His grandmother leaves him with relatives and goes to London.
Once again, Vimal is left behind - this time with a secret that is too big for a young boy.
