Son and the father have not seen each other, (not even pictures of each other) for seventeen years due to various family socio-economic issues and immigration. 17 years since separating, the son who now became a father himself, gets in contact with the father, ships him over a smartphone and they have their first conversation via video call, the first time they see each other after all those years. Son gets back in memory lane and remembers what it was like to grow up with his father and what the situation was back then back home. Things have changed. His father is no longer young and the son has matured a lot. The son is the father now as well and wants to share his life accomplishments with his father, show him his grandson, and how he’s been growing up. Son wants his father back in his family, even If they cannot meet in person, even just yet.
