A social-media influencer goes in search of an old, forgotten folk singer Naseem Bano, whose claim to fame was an off-hand compliment from Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan in 1988. He wants her to sing for his Instagram feed but she has forgotten herself. Late at night, when the whole hospital sleeps, she has a flash of memory.
