In the valley of Manipur, Boong plans to surprise his mother with a gift. In his innocence, he believes that bringing his absentee father back home would be the most special gift. At the core, Boong’s world is a triangle. At the base is Mandakini, his fiery, protective mother. The short perpendicular line is his Marwari best friend Raju Agarwal, who is considered an ‘outsider’. The hypotenuse is his father, Joykumar, who unwittingly shapes his son’s world from faraway Moreh, a border town between India and Myanmar, Boong’s search for his father disintegrates his world but culminates into an unexpected gift.
