Task
In the small Himalayan village of Halduwala, near Dehradun, Basanti (59) runs a tailoring shop with her young granddaughter, Ginny (9). When Anupama (39), a newcomer to the village, requests Basanti to repurpose old clothes into cushion covers, bedsheets, and bags, Ginny becomes attached to a t-shirt designated for recycling. As Basanti teaches Ginny about the importance of honoring commitments and recycling, she discovers that the t-shirt belongs to Anupama’s son and is his favorite. Struggling to balance her love for her granddaughter with her promise to Anupama, Basanti must find a way to resolve the situation that respects both her familial bond and her commitment to sustainability.
