A walnut tree

What does  a refugee camp look like? An elderly man tells us the story of his homelands, while his longing for home follows him far and near. He wants to go back, but that place is no longer there. His family, just like himself, have been forced to leave Pakistan due  to the seemingly endless war. Now, they find themselves torn between the memories of their old life at home, the uncertainty of the prezent and the remote future.
