Synopsis

David, a passionate footballer, has not come home. His mother persuades Joseph, his father, to go and look for him.  After no luck with David’s friends, Joseph goes to the police. The body of a teenage boy lies in the morgue in Imphal, and they tell him the only way to know whether it is or isn’t David, is to go there to see for himself.  Reluctantly he sets out on the long journey and as he travels, his fear grows deeper: a fear born of constant conflict - past and present – to which a personal fear is added.
