Rishu spends his days folding boats from scraps of paper and sending them into the drain outside his home, hoping they’ll make it somewhere, anywhere, better. Inside, his mother holds the household together with worn hands and quiet strength, while his father returns later each night, more distant than the last.

In a world of broken routines and unspoken disappointments, Paper Boats captures the delicate beauty of childhood seen through uncertain eyes. It's a tender, haunting story of small losses, missed moments, and the silent spaces where love hides.

For anyone who has ever watched something they loved drift just out of reach—this story is for you.
