A visit, like brief snatches of a well-loved poem, remembered imperfectly.
An interplay between the artist and his ancestral home in a Himalayan mountain village; sensory impressions of its present - a locked up and abandoned house, and its past - the images and sounds carried as a memory within. A visit, like brief snatches of a well-loved poem, remembered imperfectly... "a perhaps hand... moving old things and new... without breaking anything".
