Two Indians. A photographer, Romila, and a historian, Anand, set out to discover the stories of soldiers from their country who died in Papua during World War II, fighting alongside the Australians and the British. One of them is Romila’s grandfather. Their guide is Papa Buka, a wise old man who introduces them to the dance, music, tribes, biodiversity, cultural heritage and, above all, the suffering of a war that was not theirs.
