Rondji Restaurant. Jl. Raya Campuhan (Google Maps)

After 10 years, the traveller returns home and comes face-to-face with one reality he has always feared: his mother is on the brink death. He recounts his journey, page after page, to his dying mother who has barely ever left their little village in Java. He talks about the illusory homeland of China, the holy Tibet, the spiritual Nepal, the dramatic India, the struggling Pakistan, the surviving Afghanistan. He, too, begins to recount his silenced life journey. A heart-wrenching tale of love and survival.

Moderator: Ni Putu Rastiti

Shorelines, state lines, party lines and cultural chasms – the forces that divide us can sometimes feel stronger than those that unite us. In a time of mass migration and mass communication, how can and should we think about borders?
