Jamdani is a traditional weaving style which has existed in Bengal for hundreds of years. Amazing geometric patterns are created on a pit-loom by two weavers from memory. This is the story of the patterns, which carry memories and feelings.

A luminous mother-and-daughter story where a wardrobe of woven saris becomes a garden of memory — teaching that the most precious things take time, patience, and love.
