In the early hours of February 27, 2002, a newly displaced Muslim family enjoys a rare moment of peace during a picnic by the beach in Surat, Gujarat. Unaware of the tragedy unfolding in Godhra—where a train is set ablaze, an act that will ignite deadly riots across the state the following day—this fleeting moment of calm will forever alter their lives.

Years later, the surviving son returns to the same shore, burdened by the weight of the past. In the place where his innocence once resided, he confronts his grief, seeking closure and the ability to finally let go.
