In a Garo tribal village facing displacement, an elderly couple clings to their broken home and the hope of seeing their grandson, a firefighter from Chittagong, Bangladesh. Excitement turns to sorrow as he fails to arrive, unaware of the tragedy that claimed his life. Their hearts ache with the weight of loss, and the once joyous village weeps in silence, leaving their simple home echoing with unfulfilled love and longing. The old couple never learns why their grandson didn't come, leaving them with an eternal mystery to accompany their grief.
