Amina’s life revolves around caring for her aging parents and tending to their family home. A surprise visit from her cousin, Azam, brings back memories from 15 years ago. As they catch up on the years lost, they reminisce about her lost love. The unexpected visit gives Amina the closure she never knew she needed, leaving her at peace with her past and more accepting of her present. Years of conflict are resolved through a homecoming and a simple “knock on the door”.
