In the misty hills of Nagaland, where silence carries the weight of secrets, a family's life has torn apart overnight. One ordinary morning, a father leaves for work-polished shoes, briefcase in hand, picture of routine. Minutes later, he is taken by insurgents, vanishing into the dense forest that swallow men whole. What remains is not only a story of ransom and negotiation, but silence, memory, dreams and parallel worlds. Through the eyes of a son, The Third Class Saints becomes more than a tale of abduction. It is a haunting meditation on family, love, compassion, strangers, dreams and alternate realities.
