An exploration of the inner resonance within individuals traced through the melodies of the Khaen. At the heart of this journey is Sombat Simla, a legendary blind Khaen master who serves as the pivotal link between people, memories, and human relationships.

This documentary is an intimate observation of the endurance of sound and memory echoing within. It explores how these elements continue to connect people, emotions, and the unseen threads of existence.
