🎬 Title: Building Houses

Story: At 27, Alekh leads a transient lifestyle filled with half-unpacked suitcases and annual leases. When he hears about the sale of his childhood home, it triggers deep reflections on his upbringing, his family’s history, and the houses built along the way in distant America. He feels disconnected from his parents and the life they led at his age—buying, renovating, and selling homes while raising three vibrant boys. In an effort to bridge this gap, he pens a letter to his mother, reminiscing about his last visit home, sparked by a simple car ride that takes him on a journey through memories.
