普里揚卡·達斯(Priyanka Das)有很多未解之謎:為什么她的母親多年前拋棄了她在印度的家?那里是什么樣子的?最重要的是,她的父親是誰,她的母親為什么要拋棄他?但Pri的媽媽回避這些問題——印度的話題永遠是封閉的。
Priyanka Das has so many unanswered questions: Why did her mother abandon her home in India years ago? What was it like there? And most importantly, who is her father, and why did her mom leave him behind? But Pri's mom avoids these questions--the topic of India is permanently closed.
對Pri來說,母親的家鄉(xiāng)只能存在于她的想象中。直到她在一個被遺忘的手提箱里發(fā)現(xiàn)了一件神秘的羊絨。當她把自己裹在里面時,她被帶到一個比任何旅游指南或?qū)毴R塢電影都更生動和豐富多彩的地方。但這是真正的印度嗎?那隱藏在背景中的影子是什么?為了了解真相,Pri必須走得比她敢走的更遠,找到她從未認識的家庭。
For Pri, her mother's homeland can only exist in her imagination. That is, until she find a mysterious pashmina tucked away in a forgotten suitcase.

And what is that shadow lurking in the background? To learn the truth, Pri must travel farther than she's ever dared and find the family she never knew.
