In this heartfelt short film, we delve into the relationship between a strict grandfather, Daddu, and his curious grandson. When Daddu accidentally drops a photograph from his diary, the grandson's curiosity is piqued. Seizing the opportunity while Daddu naps, the grandson sneaks into the library to unravel the secrets hidden within the diary's pages. As the film unfolds, we witness the transformative power of the diary and the profound impact it has on the grandfather-grandson bond. This film, created during my academic studies at NID, explores the significance of diaries in shaping our lives.
