At a school of magic where spells are learned through sheer repetition, a young student receives the news that his father has vanished without a trace. The only lead is a potion said to restore the lost — and brewing it means leaving the classroom behind. With classmates in tow, the apprentice sets off through trials, creatures and enchantments staged with more enthusiasm than resources. Dheeraj Kumar's Indian family fantasy moves at the pace of a bedtime story, trusting wholeheartedly that the right words, properly spoken, still work.
