A daughter reflects on her father’s life — weaving the story of his miraculous journey from the streets of India with the realities of life in America. Using recorded phone calls with her dad while he worked nights at a gas station along with home movies past and present, this intimate film is a meditation on family, the immigrant experience, and the dreams we carry with us.
