About this title

Synopsis

Tales from Sri Lanka and India are two unique stories that

portray the fragility and vulnerability of human beings.

"The Monk" is the story of a six-year-old boy from a

village in Sri Lanka, who is sent away to lead the life of

a monk. After 25 years, one day a visitor arrives at the

monastery and that changes the destiny of the monk.

He makes a plan to escape. Does he succeed? Who is the

visitor? What was the plan?

"A Mussoorie Tale" portrays the friendship between

two school girls, Pia and Shazia. Both the girls are from

an elite school in Mussoorie, despite their differing

backgrounds. Shazia's family is conventional and belongs

to the Balti community, originally of Tibetan descent,

whose ancestors made India their home after the 1947

partition. Pia is from a broken home. She is raised by her

mother. The friendship between the two girls suddenly

turns into something more intense. Shazia flees from

home to save herself from the wrath of her conservative

family. Pia is shocked. What does Pia find out about

Shazia's mysterious disappearance?
