After decades of working in the printing industry in Kolkata in eastern India, Tarini has reached retirement age. He spends his days at home, having declined his son’s invitation to come to the United States. Then a friend shows him a help-wanted ad. Although he has never published a book, Tarini used to tell made-up stories to his friends in his youth, and the ad for a storyteller in Ahmedabad in western India piques his interest. The employer turns out to be a businessman with great wealth who is suffering from incurable insomnia. Tarini stays at the man’s home and tells him stories every night, and the man’s insomnia seems to improve. However, their relationship unfolds into another story with a twist. Inspired by the character “Uncle Tarini,” who appears in short stories written by the great Indian filmmaker Satyajit Ray. (PARK Sungho)
