SYNOPSIS

After a decade in Canada, Akash returns to Bangladesh with his child, hoping to reconnect with his past. But time has changed everything—relationships have faded, and home no longer feels the same. As he revisits his roots, he struggles with identity, belonging, and the emotional weight of migration. Torn between two worlds, he realizes that home isn’t just a place but a feeling reshaped by time. The Roots is a poignant exploration of identity, nostalgia, loss, and the silent struggles of those who leave—and the even greater challenge of coming back.
