Synopsis 
Manu and Tala, two orphaned siblings, lived in a small world filled only with their love for one another. The cheerful Manu and the quiet Tala shared days brimming with imagination and togetherness. One day, amidst the joy of admiring new fish in their aquarium, Tala suddenly passed away due to a heart condition she had kept hidden. Left alone, Manu discovered a final letter from Tala—a loving message asking him to learn how to let go. With a heavy heart, Manu folded the letter into a paper boat and set it adrift on the water—a gesture of farewell and enduring love.
