In the quiet rhythm of village life, preparations for the Christmas bonfire brings everyone together. As logs are split and stacked, the community’s collective wish echoes: for their loved ones living far away to find their way home for the festive season.
But amidst this unity, a quiet tension unfolds in one household. A dedicated village committee member sacrifices his time, working tirelessly without pay for the community's future, believing someone must stay to care for the elders and the needy. His wife, feeling the weight of his absence, questions the cost of this sacrifice on their own family.
Their story intertwines with the hopeful voice of their daughter, living away, who longs to return. She carries a simple, profound wish: to serve her parents with her own hands, to say thank you, and to reconnect with the roots that shaped her.
This is a story about duty vs. family, sacrifice vs. presence, and the powerful pull of home. It’s a reflection on diaspora, the unseen work that holds a community together, and the healing power of coming home—not with grand gifts, but with a grateful heart and a willingness to wash the dishes.
